I don't get it...I have surfed through other topics on this forum and see where people have included pictures with their posts and the pictures are nice and big. While mine is just a thumbnail. Can someone tell me what i'm doing wrong?

if you click on the thumbnail, it shows up nice and big for me!

Here's a shot of both of the Aldabrans from early last year. One is about 50lbs and the other is a little over 60lbs. Without going back into their records I'm guessing they're about 6 years old now.

Wow Yvonne, they are huge! I can't even imagine when my sulcatas get big and walking around like that. Also, FYI, I am thinking of taking some eastern box this summer. They are native here in NJ and do well.

Great pics Yvonne and lovely tortoises! Thanks so much for sharing. One of these days, when I decide to actually put roots down in one place I want Aldabs.

Welcome Yvonne, Your pictures are coming through fine. What lovely BIG torts. I am sure you will be a welcomed asset and have wealth of information to share.

Your burmese is beatiful. Now I know what to look forward to. I have a 9 month old and am getting more come spring. I'm really impressed by mine, it's turned into a little begger.

Yes, the Burmese are my favorite of all the turtles and tortoises that I keep. I don't treat my tortoises as pets, and try to put the food down when they are not looking, so they don't get to associate me with the food, but the Burmese have seen right through that scam, and chase me all over the yard when I'm in there. (for "chase" read lumbering slowly!) A little over 10 years ago, while all of my Burmese were living in the same enclosure, I had an accidental breeding between the two species which resulted in 50 eggs. 19 of them hatched. I have since separated them, and have not had any more breeding luck with either group.
