I do have an Aldabra as well so it's easy for me to tell the differences :):) but here are some updated...

Can't beat that SoCal. FYI the whole yard is his:)
After a horrific end to Darwin In late 12' which left the family devastated and heart broken I didn't think I would find another perfect specimen but thanks to the wonderful breeding program of Aldabramans along came Sheldon! With one of the...
