Hello everyone,

I like aldabra and galapagos so much. I wanted to have more of them. Anyone know where could I get them and send them to Indonesia?

Its going to be my longgg term project to breed them and fill my yard with them.

TIA

Right now I have one baby aldabra, and she is growing so fast.
I am still looking for another one to company her. but its hard to find one that is smooth, not piramiding and has high dome.

I thought they were for real, however, they are in Indonesia and I doubt we could have helped. The picture was of a very young Aldab, but I couldn't make out the writing in the corner. I suppose it might have been a copied picture. Who knows?

The writing says MULTIPLY...
I used to do Big cat rescue and the stories and dreams I heard all the time of people with a heart of gold wanting to save tigers by breeding them and setting them free etc.. It just doesnt work that way.. good intentions, but reality....
etc etc.

I hear Jeff Gee hasn't bred them in a while. Jeff Gee brokers (buys animals from other breeders and resells) a lot of animals.

I believe there is one individual in Florida breeding galapagos tortoises on a somewhat regular basis.

You're not going to find anyone that is going to give you any Galap or Aldabra.

I believe there is a dealer in Singapore who sells them. If you're seriously interested in buying any email me directly at [email protected] and I'll send you my friends contact info if you would like.
