Looking for a baby Aldabra tortoise

[ForestExotics]

Looking for a baby Aldabra tortoise max I would pay is $1000

Unfortunately, you're not going to find a quality hatching under $1k. You can pm ALDABRAMAN and see exactly how much a little guy would cost, but I'm positive it'll be over $1000.

I am sure you can find one at that price.
Just make sure is never defrosts.

I've never seen one that cheap. The usual cost of a brand new hatchling is $1500.

I've been searching as well, and have had some lovely conversations with ALDABRAMAN. I've contacted several suppliers (not all breed, but sell for others), and on average a PREPAID hatchling is $1500 range.

I'm just curious. Where are you going to keep an Aldabra during those NY winters? I'm asking because there are a lot of nice places that I wouldn't mind moving to, but the weather is no good for large tortoises too much of the year. So what do you do with a giant tortoise in the Northern winters?

Few years ago they were about 900-1000 babies, now I see them around 12-1500, 1200 being rare. Tom has a good point, it's possible, but it will cost a lot and it will take planning, something you should already be thinking about or thought about.

Tom, what are you saying! Keeping a 540 lb tortoise in the living room is a bad idea? [GRINNING FACE WITH SMILING EYES]

I think it could work out as a tv tray . If you eat alot of greens and have left overs he will have no problem cleaning up . Ha ha just joking .

Awe, come on. I was asking seriously. We all know it can be done. I'm just looking for insight and ideas on HOW to do it.

I think the OP asked a serious question. I'm closing the thread because it has taken a wrong turn. If anyone has info on a baby Aldabran tortoise under $1,000, please PM or email the OP with the information.
