Yup. I still have them. They are bigger then ever. Not sure if I can still lift the larger one.

With winter fast on its way I will be needing some extra UV for the torts. I was wondering if there have been any incredible breakthroughs in LED lighting for reptiles. I know they have been growing plants for a while now but I was wondering if anything has crossed over. Thanks for the info...

I still have them and they are doing great. I have pretty much given up on trying to sell them. Last time I had the bigger one on a scale he was 65 lbs. I am sure it's closer to 70 now.

Don't know what it is but my Aldabs love to eat dry tree leaves. They will pick them over green ones and sometimes they will pick them over fresh lettuce. With fall fast approaching I was wondering what leaves are safe for them to eat. Or if there are any they shouldn't. Thanks for the input Chip

Thank you to everyone that have inquired about my torts. I still haven't found them a new home yet. They are 17 and 19 inches. I have had them since late 2007. If you know anyone that might be interested please pass this along.

I am so very sad to do this but I must sell my 2 Aldabran tortoises. If you go back and read some of my posts you can see how much care I have given them. If you are interested please email me. If you know anyone that my be interested please foward this along.

I don't need to keep the greenhouse warm at nite. The torts sleep in the heated box. Its on a thermostat so it stays at about 70f. As far as the power we have an auto backup generator. Thank you all for your comments

I figure they are about 5 years old now. I will have to weigh and measure them again tomorrow. Last time I weighed them the bigger one was over 30 pounds. Nope I have never had any Manourias. Sorry. :) I haven't posted in a while but I still read some posts every now and then when I can. Its...

I started with my aldabs in Miami. Spent 2 years in South Carolina. Now I am in Columbus Ohio. Not the best moves for the torts but it needed to be done. So far they have been doing great. The bigger of the 2 was packing on a pound a month. Now that winter is here I have been working on...

I finally got my first positive Reputation . Thanks to fstyle28 I feel loved. I have given them out before but never got one. How lame am I ? This really did make me happy.

When I go out of town I pay a friends kid (read friend has to go too to drive the kid) to check up and take care of the animals. At the time I had my 2 aldabras a fresh and saltwater tank one dog and one sun conure. The other children in the family would fight over getting to go too. When you...

Due to a unforeseen domino effect over the past few years I need to move again. I do have the good fortune to have family that can help me out but the problem is they are up in Columbus Ohio. When I got my 2 Aldabs I was a home owner down in sunny Miami Florida. Now I am in partly sunny South...

Here is the only one I have come across in my searches... Aldabra Tortoise Care This is by no means a definitive care sheet. The information on this sheet is based on the care and maintenance of 14 yearling Aldabra Tortoises (Geochelone gigantea) that where maintained in San Diego...

First my mom then Clarence.... Maybe it is time for me to get a facebook page. Naaaaa

My rule for naming animals is simple. If they respond to a name they get one if not no name is needed. Dogs = get name fish = no name cats = most of the time no name torts = no name birds = no name drives my GF nuts that I call her bird "bird" instead of Crash.

PPPppsssttt herp supplies = sponsor of this site = keeps the site up So yeah its a beautiful site!!!!

I got my Aldabrans from a breeder who fed all of his torts mostly St. Augustine. He had a huge property that he would use a push mower on so he could bag all the clippings for the torts. I paid his higher price because his animals were the best looking I could find. If you look under my posts...
