ALDABRA TORTOISE BREEDER

[ALDABRAMAN]

Do these monsters make it to the shed on their own every night? Or how do you go about it? Do they stay overnight outside if they decide to not to go in?

* They go inside when and if they want. Truly there is no consistency as to what they prefer. If the weather is cold we make them go in and keep the temperature regulated. We move them them with treats!

* They go in and out as they wish. No real consistency. If it is cold we coach them with treats and they follow easily!

I absolutely love it when our customers send us pictures and give us updates on our hatchlings. This little guy is Cacko and is thriving in Louisiana, he was hatched in last years group. The owner said he is more like a dog than a tortoise. The picture he sent me today says it all, isn't that just precious!

Thank you for the picture Ben.

Today we released a few dozen hatchlings into the large back yard area from the smaller initial growth pens. this little guy was just so cute, he would run all over the place as fast as he could go and just stop and look around. This picture was taken at a long distance, they are still shy at this size. Thought he was so adorable!

It's like, I imagine, a 500 lbs gorilla; where does a gorilla sleep? Anywhere he wants! Lol. But, these gentle giants know where its warm and safe. I think Greg would tell you that he's never had to force these animals into the barn.

* LOL, I will share a privileged top guarded secret about moving 500 pound giant aldabras, ready...."RED"! That's right, if you just have a red pepper, apple, or even our infamous "RED BUCKET". If they see the red bucket, they know it has goodies and will follow you anywhere, LOL! We truly have no issues with getting them into the heat if needed, they are very easy to move!

I agree Greg. I love it when babies run out and frolic around. And, when you try to get a video or pic if them, they stop dead on their tracks. Funny to see it. Thanks for sharing. And, I'll remember the color "red" if I should ever get an aldabra cause I'll only get one from you. That's a promise. I just have to keep myself alive for another 20 years. Then, it will be willed over to my son who's planning to settle in a farm somewhere, hopefully in Florida.
