What a beautiful baby. Congrats on your new member. I always wanted one to raise, but I just don't have the space. It's times like these that I wish I had bought a farm.:-/

Mine now only like 6" for 2 years, but he's still growing, that's the most important. Maybe one day he will decide to grow more

Yes, more photos of that, please! I love the way adult Aldabrans sleep/rest with utter abandon, legs stretched out in whatever way they fit. Do the small ones sleep like that, too? -or generally a bit retracted into the shell?

Thanks for this info; I have posted a photo of a sleeping adult male in the photos section, in case you want to see what luxury beach accommodation looks like on Aldabra
