Ive brought the Leopard tortoise from the shop home for a few days so she can enjoy my garden. She has rather long nails at the back.

Can anyone tell me how long they should be. She is about 12-18inches long and 9 yrs old. Where she is in her tank in the shop she cannot grind them down herself, not sure if its coz they are so long or what. I take her out fora walk at least once a week down the high street where she has a chance to grind them, but they do look rather long and just wondered if i clipped them how much i should take off.
I assume like beardies they can only have a short amount taken off but these seems very long at the back. I will try and get some photos of her and her back feet so you can see how long they are.

But any help will be much appreciated.

Try to get some clear pictures if you can, i clip mine if they get too long or put the torts on a concrete based pen

will do. for now ive boxed her in on the patio lol so she can go round and round on there for an hr or so and that should help ( i can then get some housework done lol)

ok here area few photos for you. 1st one next to my shoe is a size 5 jsut put there to give you an idea of how big she is
