Greg, fantastic pics. I cannot imagine being a child and being surrounded by real live dinosaurs! So, what are the guys eating in this photo? There seem to actual branches - do they eat those?

Just thought of that, or do they only eat the leaves?

This little guy (the rear one) seems very unique, simply because he is developing very wide and flatter. We typically see the majority of our hatchlings develop taller or more domed. His other six clutch mates were all regular. My thoughts are that Alfa may be his father, just a guess! Anyway, he is just over eight months old now and doing fantastic! I named him wide glide, he is very distinctive from the others. If he continues as i expect we will hold him for further growth optimal development. I have rarely seen the wider aldabras, especially this young.
