Mike1011 is just learning his way around the forum and he asked me to post some pictures for him. He'll come onto the thread later and give us the scoop about the pictures:

Thanks Yvonne, I'm going to figure this picture thing out this week. The larger of them are imports for little over a year and the three smaller ones are aldabramans I recieved as hatchlings last June. Thanks again for putting them up!

Thanks, no I dont plan on breeding, just keeping 2-3 females as pets:)

Hi Mike, great pics, do you live in a warm climate where they are outside all the time? perhaps we could bother you for pics of the Aldabs enclosure.....? thanks, I think almost everyone on TFO is amazed at the aldab keepers dedication. :D

I will work on the pics of the enclosure(no easy task for me). I live in Rockland county, N.Y. At this age they come in from x-mas till March 1. Once about 18-24" they stay out all year in a heated shed with an attached greenhouse I put up and break down once the temps get up to 45 deg.(its usually up for Dec,Jan and Feb.) I am going to build a new shed soon and are going to get a much better greenhouse for them thats easier on they eye.(I like everything to be asthetically pleasing)

WOW, i am shocked that you live that far north!!! of course you are about 8 hours south of me but to see that you do it gives me a glimmer of hope that some day I could as well..... I have the same type of setup.... A heated shed attached to a greenhouse, and my greenhouse is attached to outdoor pens that are all able to be closed of depending on the weather....my closed shed season is about late october to early april......april and october I will open the greenhouse during the day but the outdoor pens are off limits, (unless an exceptional day is present), what I would love to have is a large heated green house!! now that would be fantastic......

Well, he sorta bought them from us by way of one of our wholesale customers. They were bred and hatched at our program in Florida.
