Your pics are outstanding as always! You are living the dream! If I ever make it to Naples I hope you will be okay with me stopping by and having a cup of coffee, or two and watching these guys.

Your young aldabra is one of the smothest I have ever seen imported, very nice. Here is another picture of another two year old, near the same size as yours. Ours tend to grow slower on a natural diet with no supplementation. I know a fellow that has nine of our hatchlings the same year as the...

Thanks for your post Greg! I have a pair that are about the size of the one in your third pic. How does growth tend to be after that size? In future winters I plan to move them to an outside enclosure, when they get to big for the indoor enclosure, but I have no idea how long that will be...

Your site is awesome! I see you have at least 3 het sunset leopards now. Very very nice!

This sounds like the setup I will have next year. I would love to see pics. Do you have back up heat or back up generator in case your electric goes out?

They are really cool to watch! Everyday I'm home I sit on my bench and watch it graze and walk around. Sometimes I do it for hours (only tortoise people understand that lol). It is only six inches and comes right up to me and eats carrots out of my hand. As to the shell I wish I could take...

LOL! What great pictures

Welcome to the forum!

I am really glad this post came up, as I have been thinking of getting a dog. i am just worried that it will think its got a moving chew toy. Maybe the smaller the dog maybe less to worry about. I really hope Ed posts on here since he has aldabs :)

Yeah it is a large enough area that my leopards and Aldabra can coexist without much trouble.

Here are some pics of my outdoor enclosure.

I knew Richard Miller had some beautiful torts, but this Aldabra he sent me blew my socks off!

An Aldabra, but the subspecies you be the judge http://islandbiodiversity.com/tortoise.htm#Giant%20Tortoises
