Forgot to mention that I got my first from Chris Estep in September 2013. He’s big I think, but not that big!

Very cute.
@ALDABRAMAN does their size seem large for their age, in general?
I wonder if because Chris's are imported and have to be 4" before they are imported if they are fed a diet that would help to make them grow faster to reach that 4" mark quicker.

Very adorable Aldabra torts! I have a little Russian but I also have lots of love to share for the mighty Aldabra; one of my favorite species. Can't wait to see more lovely pictures! :)
