Pictures and no explanations? I got to know what is the pic below the piggy back pic? Love the butt shot and the one little hide with the wood Windows too cute.
Those Aldabras of yours, they really like to check out every place to see if they can look or get out don't they, like a couple, or is it just one, brats:D

The piggy back picture - I had several intergrade Manouria emys phayrei/Manouria emys emys males here for about 15 years. That picture shows one of them trying to breed the adult female. He had big ideas. That particular tortoise was sold to someone here in town and not cared for properly. When she went through a divorce I got him back. He's deformed from poor care.

The next picture after that is a nice Texas tortoise male that I got too late to help. I only had him a week when he died. I was trying to figure out what was wrong with him when he died. Come to find out, he had a very large bladder stone. You can see the stone in the picture.

Nice photos Yvonne. Keep them coming. I just so enjoy looking at your photos.
That manouria like his women BIG. Lol. :)

And I want that wooden house :mad:

My sister gave that to me for Christmas one year. I have a little collection of decorative bird houses.

Poor guy, that bladder stone is huge.

I like the little guys ambition, but it seems his "mate" has less than zero interest in his mating.... haha

The piggy back too funny.

Great pictures of the aldabra tortoises. The sulcata looks so calm and peaceful in that picture. Awesome pictures
