I know! That's why I brought it up again. I'm an architect up here in MN and once we were interviewed by a discrete and private high profile client. To even interview with him we had to sign a document in which we promised not to reveal his name, his location, anything we saw, anything we heard, anything we did - ever.

I would be happy to sign such a document as a prerequisite when you open your B&B!

~ She has already been seen by Dr. Mader about a month ago, no need. We think she was scratched during a mating event!

Ouch!

Recently, I have been in pursuit of an aldabra. Naturally, the first person I looked over as a breeder was Greg. Which means, I became familiar with nearly every amazing tortoise picture he has ever posted. After exhausting the short list of reputable breeders, I looked into classifieds all over the internet. This morning, I received an email from a known scam artist. I knew right away that she was because I recognized Greg's picture and because of the unrealistically cheap price she quoted me for a pair. Though, if Greg were to offer me that pair in the picture for that price, I'd have Paypal up in the blink of an eye lol.

~ To my knowledge only two actual sources offer captive USA produced aldabra hatchlings to the public. Any other retail sources are offering imports from probably either the Seychelles or Mauritius commercial farms.
