ALDABRA TORTOISE BREEDER

[ALDABRAMAN]

My goodness, that 3 year old is way, waaaaay too cute. In your opinion, is anything as cute (or maybe just sort of the same sort of cute?) and destined to stay as small as that 3 year old Aldabra? I cannot responsibly afford or provide the space for an Aldabra, but that picture tempts me beyond reason, lol.

Stay clear of the larger tortoise species if space is an issue.

...aint that the TRUTH! I have 1 Sulcata and would like another large tort, but will have to aim for a smaller one simply because of space!

Our breeders we can not say for sure, they are all imports from many years ago.

yeah, my parents still can't believe how i could possibly want something that gets as big as a sulcata let alone an Aldebaran, they just don't know why on earth i would want something that could crush me

They look like Brontosaurus Buddhas, all enlightened and serene and stuff, with light halos shining behind them...Too good. ^^
