How often do you see an aldabra this size eat any of that St Augustine grass? Mine will not touch it, spits it out if any gets into the mouth. Is this a common situation?

How often do you see an aldabra this size eat any of that St Augustine grass?

* Often! Jeff, these two pictures were taken last week at our program of a ten month old (5 1/2") and is a great optical of younger aldabra eating live grass. Actually this little guy now belongs to another TFO member as of a few days ago. Note: This is not Tuff!

Is this a common situation?

* I can testify to observing our young aldabras (even 3" hatchlings) eating every type of grass, weed, and vines in our back yard.
