Thank you !When you manage to keep this conditions with very high humidity for the first years, this so far perfectly grown babies will continue to grow perfectly smooth. Most important is the humid start in life, later years are not so important.
Congratulations!!
Thank you Heather. Your sully torts are gorgeous too.Gorgeous Sabine!
So cute.!!

Hello friends,
for me a dream came true and I got my two aldabra tortoise babies yesterday. They have made the long journey from the Seychelles to Germany where I live.
I am ready for giving them a good life and all what they need as long as I live and after my death too.
I would be glad when you, dear reader, are interested to accompany my torts ( and me ) on their way of growing and thriving.
I think I don`t have to explain their names. In loving memory where they come from I named them Mahé and Moyenne.
They are only one day in their new home and I can already say that they are different in their behavior.
Mahé is the smaller one with the red color spot on the carapax.
Moyenne is a little bit bigger with the yellow color spot on the carapax.
Both seem to be very healthy and having a hard shell. They began to eat a few hours after their arrival yesterday and are eating well today too.
But now it is time to share brandnew pics of "brandnew" tort babies.
Enjoy !

You want to know how much I have payed for them ?
1800 Euro each baby.
A lot of money, but I didn`t regret it.
How much did you buy those two aldabras for?
Hello Jamie, I hope that soon you have the right environment to keep your big tortoises. They are amazing.Beautiful tortoises!
Thanks for sharing the pics ... I'd love to someday add some huge tortoises to my life, but want to move to a more supportive environment first.
Again, thanks,
Jamie
