Okay, as I promised, please check out the growth rate of our 4 juvenile Aldabras in this graph.
Bob, Ginny, & Bolo were all born in late 2010, & while we're not sure about Thor (he was a rescue), our herpetologist friend from the Honolulu Zoo told us that he is approximately 8 years old. Thor was badly dehydrated when we rescued him, & acted like he was starving when we got him back to our facility, so his big jump in weight is due to our putting him on an appropriate diet. I'll keep updating this chart as my wife weighs them, although I'll probably switch to pounds fairly soon!
