Hey Aldabraman,
I just had a question... do you have heat lamps in the shed/indoor area for when the weather gets cold, or do your aldabras not need the heat because it doesn't get very cold here in Florida? Thanks!

Hey Aldabraman,

~ We have found that heat lamps work best for us.

Are those 250 W bulbs?

 

[GingerLove]

That's awesome! How do you keep the shed from catching fire? You really take amazing care of your tortoises, you must be proud!

 

[ALDABRAMAN]

Are those 250 W bulbs?

~ Yes

Males seem bigger than the females.
is that usual with Aldabras, or just an age difference ?

~ Our females range between 150 and 240, our males range between 450 and 570 pounds.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Poor girls!

 

[ALDABRAMAN]

Poor girls!

~ Sometimes optics look harsher than actual.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

It's interesting.
As you know, with our little Mediterranean species the females are much bigger.
But the males can bully them horribly.

 

[ALDABRAMAN]

It's interesting.

~ Sure is!

Aldabraman what did you said you use for ants. I have the small ants in Groots outdoor pen.
Thanks

 

[GingerLove]

Wasn't it oatmeal or something crazy like that?

 

[ALDABRAMAN]

[Tidgy's Dad]

How bizarre!
I've heard of Fuller's Earth and some other things, but oatmeal!
Wow.
