~ Simply like everyone else. When i was a child i was totally amazed with turtles and tortoises, etc. When i was 18 i purchased my first baby, traded up, etc. and within a few years started to have grand ideas about getting a breeding pair. Of course there was no internet then and almost everyone i spoke with either had no clue or lied about this species and actually breeding them. Long story short, i started purchasing larger aldabra tortoises and intensely watched and interacted with them trying to figure out the breeding process, etc. After many purchased tortoises, tons of money and an unmeasurable amount of time i finally figured it out. I sold many of my adults that were not capable of successful breeding and focused on finding ones that i thought were capable. The rest is history...........I still spend countless hours intensely observing and make every effort to optimize our breeding program.

~ Our breeding/mating season is currently very active, seems to increase heavily during the our rainy season. We are seeing many events per day and at times several pairs simultaneously mating.

I think you have a great opportunity to publish your findings.

The rain likely denotes more suitable conditions for offspring survival as it should result in a greater food supply. I wonder if this rainy season is common for the Aldabras in their native atoll or have they adapted to the Florida weather?
