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 !

Mahé on the day of arrival. "Waving" into the camera. "Hello, I am here !"
Moyenne on the day of arrival: "I don`t want to see someone! Let me alone."
First soak: Very exciting for little tortoises !
Moyenne soaking himself in the water dish, Mahé in the background.
and after the "exhausting" soaks, eating together:
