Hello.
I have a 18 year old Aldabra about 160-170# and he has come of age. I have been entertaining purchasing a 17yo female to make the pair. My intention is to have the two breed at some point. My concern is that I remember reading years ago about males being sterile. I also remember reading that males raised in groups of males having higher sterile percentages. He has been a lone male in his pen all his life.
I'm just trying to get a feel of realistic expectations of the pair cooperating.
Anyone have any real world input on this?
