My Cupcake is now 6" and just hit 2 lbs. was he in same clutch? I know he was also born in Jan He/she is doing great BTW. Such a healthy little devil. Stands up to get legs rubbed now. But I spend time with him everyday, and this has gotten him used to me. Cupcake has the more rounded shell.
It will be interesting to see how they all grow, and what differences they show as they age. Florida is indeed a great place to raise an Aldabra. :)

* Cupcake looks great and looks very friendly. Cupcake was not from the same clutch, the one above is from a different female, April. Cupcake has gained good weight and looks very strong and active from your thread, all great. We have a distinctive advantage here in Florida for sure. Thank you for keeping your thread fresh and sharing so much! Your participation and perspectives on TFO are fantastic!

* Here is April, she is a small and very domed female!

That's neat, you have "flat" shelled baby's from a very domed momma. Which makes me ask another question, when their breeding, do multiple males breed the same female and if so can multiple males father one clutch? Say Cowboy and Alfa breed April, she lays her eggs, they hatch, you end up with some baby's belonging to Cowboy and some belonging to Alfa?
