Megatron Photo Album

That looks nice and lush. He looks like he is in the hiding spot.

No I can't see him. Where is he and we should get an updated pic of him too. BTW, I like the area.

Yes, picture is only smart phone quality, not big enough to see him. But he is hiding under the cave. It's pretty hot yesterday.

Thank you, I'd like to update him but he doesn't really changed much. Well he increases in size a bit, up 0.5 cm. So how does that make in inch? 0.2 inch? Not so much

Is he in his hiding spot? I think I see him. Is area looks so nice.

Ditto, you are right and thank you

It's quite hot yesterday after days of raining and I'm glad he starts using his hiding spots more and more.

Thank you and yes, he is hiding there, away from all the hot sun light.

I want to get some potted dwarf olive tree there if I manage to find one.

It's been a month since I last posted pictures of Megatron. I try to take close up pictures as much as possible with what my phone allows me to do this morning.

Right after soaking time. Curious little guy, isn't he

Left close up shot~

Right close up shot~

Well, he's got a sexy butt for his size

As if today, he is SCL 14.7 cm.

Looking sooo cute. The first pic almost looks like a fake tort How is his/her personality? Very shy or not so much? I have read that they are usually shy until they are around two years old or so.

Megaton is soooooo cute! he looks to be well cared for and you have smoothed him out nicely I think

Mine is predicted already 2 years old. He is still on the shy side, a bit brave now, but still no fast movement allowed for him. Maybe due to I'm pretty busy right now. The only time I handle him is when I do the daily care for soaking.

Thank you Mel. I see a couple of smooth growths for now and I hope it grows that way all time. It's been harder for me to ask the babysitter to spray him more per day now, as he likes to stay inside his outdoor hiding place. I should somehow create more high humidity there, but still figuring out how to do that.

Wow, what a great thread! Megatron is beautiful and the outdoor habitat you created for him is like tortoise heaven. Your other tortoises are beautiful too!

 

[wellington]

Wow, he doesn't look like he's two. I know they all grow at their own pace, but I thought the ones that are at 4 inches were only a few months old. Yours doesn't look much bigger then the 4 inchers.

---

Also, Aldabramans 21 month old male Tuff almost 2 looks much bigger then yours and he is even undersized for what his 2 year olds usually are. Must be the geographical differences.

Thank you Erin. Actually I prefer to have a dog as beautiful as yours, but my wife doesn't really like one

Yes, he is growing on the slow growth side, but Greg said that still on the growth range for 2 years old. Well who cares, mini aldabra also works fine for me

I see Tuff's pictures, and he is bigger than mine for almost the same age. I compare with others in my country, and mine is always on the small side

 

[wellington]

Miniature Aldabra. Not that would sell like crazy LOL As long as they grow and are healthy. Who cares how long it takes to get big.

Agreed! And mine is growing, so he might catching up soon

 

[wellington]

Oh, he will catch up. Then you will be longing for those days you could actually lift him.

 

[Yellow Turtle]

By that time, I'm gonna have to buy another one I guess

 

[Baoh]

It looks well. Keep up the good work.

Thank you. That's the plan

Bigger, smaller, as long as he's well cared for and loved! He's so cute in the first picture he seems like he's a statue!

He's very curious little guy and my fingers attract him like some delicious food

 

[lori12386]

Omg! He is so cute! He remind me of Little Foot from the land before time... Lol. Even though he isnt a dinosaur! Its just his adorable face!
