ALDABRA TORTOISE BREEDER

[PEEEETE]

I hope the little one is ok. why were they fighting?

Everything is ok beside a little pain whe she try to be seated

Keep up the pictures! It's as close as most of us will ever get to being able to take care of one of these beautiful Aldabras ourselves.

I want one so bad! I wish that they weren't so expensive, but I'm sure the cost is well worth it.

Hi Greg, All these pictures are amazing! The babies are unbelievably cute! Those faces and eyes!

I was just curious....being that these guys are so large, do they require a permit to own them? Are they only "allowed" in certain states? I live in VA so the winters here would not be good for them. But, I was just curious about them. I would love to be able to interact with some of these gorgeous beasts one day!

No permits are needed for this species. Intereaction with such large tortoises are such a blessing, we love them so much. The males are like big gentle creatures from the past, just calm and gentle. Most of our aldabras really love human contact, scratching, hand feeding, and of course showers for cooling them down.

We have two males over 600 pounds, unsure of the exact amount. All of our adults/breeders we believe to be over 100 years old, no records to determine exact age.

That is amazing!! There's one lonely aldabra at the zoo here in Memphis. Poor thing doesn't look nearly as good as any you have.

The guys at Life Fellowship told us many years ago, if aldabras are happy, they will produce. Well, ours must be very happy!

so happy to have stumbled across this thread... these guys (and gals) are simply amazing!! I love how they appear to almost cuddle with the keeper in a few of the pictures, simply awe-inspiring! Congrats on having such a unique family!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I need my fix of aldabra pics!!!

 

[FranklinTturtle]

Please don't retire this thread yet. I have some questions. Do they have a mating season? Or do they mate at any time? Do they share the 2 shed's that I see in the pictures on a nightly basis? and last but not least do you worry about any predators?

Take care, sir. Your stewardship is part of what inspired me to be a current Aldabra owner.
