We are considering this very large female aldabra for our breeding program. I can share that she is 35" x 26" and about 300 pounds. Any thoughts?

Big, Mature, Great looking. Big clutches. New blood. She will pay for herself quickly. When do you pick her up?

Doesn't look too bad. The shell damage only, but not bad as long as it isnt a sign of a health issues at this point. Is she one that I emailed you about? She's big. As long as healthy, I would go for it. Keep us updated.:)

Looks like she MAY have suffered from MBD when she was a lot smaller, judging from the sloping over her hips. But she looks pretty darned good now. I say, if you can afford the price, get her!

Shell looks a little rough, but I don't see any major problems.

I'm on with Laura about making sure all of the important questions are answered prior to purchasing her...she will be part of your breeding program and even at a good price, that size Aldabra will cost some pretty coins:) I think it's a good idea to have her looked at prior to purchasing so I hope someone has replied who lives close to the LA area? Getting her from a reliable person is extremely important as well, but Greg you already know that:)

Is there someone you trust in CA that can do a complete physical? You know look under the hood and kick the tires so to speak..
