Aldabra Size Progression Through Time

[SanctuaryHills]

Was messing around with the 3D software to design a new shed for the tortoises, and came up with this chart using a 6' person for reference.

Of course there are variations, but none the less this gives a good idea I thought.

Have a great Sunday everyone!

That's pretty neat. Thanks for sharing that with us.

Along those same lines, I saw this pic and found it interesting. Its probably a small horse and there is also some forced perspective happening too, but still a neat picture.



I do love the giants.

That is pretty cool. I wonder if any of the aldabra keepers here have kept detailed growth records of their animals. We did't record any weights during the 3rd year for ours and I have never recorded the carapace measurements. I think you could probably reach your 5 year size in 4 years.

Im keeping detailed records of my Aldabras. The first of each month they get weighed and measured . I have about 6 months worth of days at this point. I'll do a write up after a year.

I have two arriving tomorrow and will be tracking all their data. I’m crazy excited!!

Here is the weight records for one of my Aldabras - General - He is getting pretty heavy. He is over 32 lbs now
