I've kept sulcatas and leopards, and I've got to say I prefer my leopards. The smaller size is a plus and I think they have a better temperment. My sulcata had a tendency to charge me even at a young age. That's just my opinion. (Sulcata lovers don't skewer me!)My male leopard follows me around like a dog whenever I'm out in their pen. I don't think they're all that finicky about food, although I did have a hard time weaning them off grocery store greens.


:Can some one describe the differences in owning each of these species. Can someone give me cage req sized for each as well. I live in San Diego, CA. Which would do better in my climate. Do they both hibernate the same amount of time. I am not getting one anytime soon, just starting research to make sure I would want one (long commitment). Thank YOu
