Great pictures! Your GF does a good job with the close-ups. Don't those big guys grow fast? How much do they weigh now?

thank you all. they are almost 8 and 12 pound now. I think its time to get a torty treadmill. they are still eating a lot but now they haven't been getting too much exorcise due to the chillier weather.


I took this one today with my phone

seems to be saying " what food I never even saw any plate of food "

Those Aldabs are BEAUTIFUL!!! And I must say, your phone takes fantastic pics! I wish mine did, they are always blurry or pixelated.
Take Care

Haha :D that is a good one, he is sitting on his plate, so cute :D

You wouldn't think it was so cute if he was sitting in the middle of a CLEAN pile of fresh food! In the pens where I have more than one tortoise, the thinking seems to be, "If I sit on the food then that other guy can't get any!"

A clean pile of fresh food, I guess you are right, it would not be that adorable ;)

I have read that a full grown male can get up to 750 pounds.

The plate was from the mazuri I had giving them the day before so no loss of food there. Ha

I only have two and the both have visible nuchal scutes.
