Jackson enjoying a nice day outside .
Check out the 2nd pic, he is floating in his soak tub, front feet on the ground and back feet trailing behind off the ground
Ok , so I started weighing the Aldabras every couple of weeks, some days they would be 35 g heavier than the day before, then when they pooped , they would weigh less. So it is easier to see the results of real growth every 2 weeks
Jackson weighed in at 1048g today, a solid 150g in 20 days, he feels heavy
Jackson weighed 1155 grams today , been in his new enclosure for a little over a week, starting to get used to it, the weather today is sunny and low 70’s, I have all 3 of my torts out in the sun for a while, Jackson on the left, General on the right
Weighed the Aldabras today, Jackson is 1327g ,July29 he was 636g , he has doubled in weight in 3 months, about 1 inch in carapace length gained in 3 months, he is looking good
Jackson weighed in at 1611 g this morning.
he was 1411 on nov 8, so he is holding pretty steady at 10 g per day weight gain. 200g in the last 20 days. I guess this is probably about normal growth rate for Aldabra s this size
