Very cool greg, I've always wanted to see all of your herd like that it's nice to see them labeled individually. Thanks for sharing!

I noticed you mentioned that you aren't far from The Gulf. Where are you located?... if you don't mind me asking. I purchased a home in New Port Richey which is relatively close to The Gulf. I know Florida is a long state but I would LOVE to see your majestic Aldabras in person one day... and of course you as well.

Is it just the picture or does Peanut actually have a more hmmm not sure what to call it, maybe a pinched in shell? Every time I see your pictures, I kick myself for not jumping on buying one years ago. Then I remind myself, back then I would have made the poor guy's life horrible with my lack of knowledge. Your gang is just incredible, so glad you share these awesome pictures and lives with us.

Good observation Jacqui, Peanut is crooked. It is all cosmedic, she is one of our highest egg producers of the seven. I have had her since the late 80's. I purchased her with a group of five, the other four are relocated. She laid eggs the first year I recieved her. Fertility took longer. She lays two clutches on average ever year, sometimes three. She is the most shy and very healthy.

She is our most shy female....When the meter reader use to read the electric meter at my old house, she would run away....LOL...I always knew when he was reading the meter, Peanut was on the run.

P.S. Just for this reason, the meter is know not near the torts at my current house.

 

[Stephanie]

They're beautiful, Greg; they look like gentle giants.

 

[ascott]

Norma is absolutely sweet....it looks like she is trying to crouch down to the same level as the camera....I can say....I am loving Norma......all of your crew are marvelous
