Good day

Great pics. Thanks for sharing. Really love the second pic. Little roly poly, so round. Also really like the last pic. Never seen one in water before. They are suppose to be able to swim.

Nice pictures! Great looking females!

Wow, I had no idea they loved to get in the water like that! I guess it makes sense seeing as how lots of other species enjoy a good soak.

I think aldabra can swim. I try mine when I soak it, basically just increasing the water level per day. From my observation, mine just basically float inside his tube. Must be the dome shell do its job

Anyone has aldabra swimming pictures?

Aldabras are actually really buoyant and great swimmers. Here's a clip of them in the wild: (from 8:06 to around 14:00) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kSBhTgQwTGM

Didn't realize Bush Gardens had reptiles, been a long time since I was there. I just love the pic of the Aldabra in the water, I never knew they loved water that much. Thank you for sharing...

* The aldabra care taker/keeper use to be a member on this forum. They have actually had eggs and one hatchlings was found in the large circular display pen many years ago. The large male is enormous!

Must have felt like finding hidden treasure to find hatchling in the pen

Fantastic pictures. I also had no idea they could swim.
Thanks for these and the you tube video

They have a lot of baby Aldabra's like behind a water ride like a nursery for them
