New here; Leopard tortoises

Hello,
I am new to this forum, but so far like it.
anywho, we own a female leopard tortoise that is like 20 some years old, my father got it as a hatchling. My father has said that if he ever finds a male old enough to breed and not too pricey, he may consider buying it. is there a breeder out there that occasionally has adults for sale? like in a year or so? how old do they have to be to breed?
what else would i need to look into for breeding these guys? right now our leopard is in a cardboard box; cant start on her new home till our living room is done. we let her out to "play" every so often, though.
how should a breeding setup be made, and can i use a chicken incubator for the eggs? anything special there?
also, since i have goats, i have hay during the winter. do tortoises like hay?
and finnally, will someone give me some links to equipment suppliers please? ones with websites and paper catalogs preferrably.

wow sorry for all the questions! Thanx in advance,
~Dona

Hi Dona,

Not familiar with leopard tortoise's, since I just brought home my first tortoise and still learning about my african spur thighed sulcata.

I put a post on this forum about him and may have a picture of him there.

Would love to see a picture if your baby.

I'm sorry I'm not much help but this link might give you some good help.
