We've had our three Aldabras for three years now. We don't know their hatch dates but we estimate they hatched at the beginning of 2018 making them nearly 4 years old now.
9/28/2018 Weights
Bigfoot - 558g
Littlefoot - 382g
Meatball - 378g
9/26/2021 Weights
Bigfoot - 26.3kg
Littlefoot - 24.4kg
Meatball - 20.8kg
We are pretty happy with how they are turning out. They seem to have very stout and strong legs that appear to be in proportion to the rest of their body. The shell shapes are pretty good. Meatball (red dot) has a perfect shell but it has some scars on the plastron from fungus when it was very young. Littlefoot (yellow dot) has a nearly perfect shell. Bigfoot (blue dot) has a little bit of pyramiding but its only noticeable from certain angles.
They are always hungry but they still haven't learned to associate us with food and basically terrified of us. We are still waiting for the day they warm up to us.
I took a few new photos today after the weigh in.
