Juvenile or Adult Aldabra

[Happheat]

I have just finished building a new indoor and outdoor enclosure for a rescue. I am willing to give it to a juvenile to adult Aldabra tortoise in need. I am willing to travel anywhere in the continental US for pick up if needed.

This space is awesome! That is going to be one lucky tort who gets to live there!🐢💚

Thank you, that’s very nice of you to say. The inside is not completed yet but it is live able as is.

You won't likely find one for free. Adults are 5000.00 on up depending on age/size and babies are 1500.00 to 2000.00.
There are a couple for sale in Minnesota but I believe they are even more than 5000.

I’m not in a rush. I’ve seen rescues before. If it doesn’t happen, no big deal. A lot of people aren’t able to take them and this space is ready should one be in need.

I have never seen a rescue Aldabra, but if you think you have, you might want to see if you can find them and see if they ever found a home.
The ones in Minnesota are for sale.

Good luck in your search. The outdoor portion looks lovely. I think the indoor portion is much too small for the tortoise to be confined in for months at a time over winter.

I also noticed the lip of the soaking pool on the uphill side is exposed. Those who keep the giants call those edges "penis removers" or they refer to pools like that as "penectomy pools", because that is what can happen. I'd add some dirt to that area to cover the edge of the concrete there. Just don't want to see a disaster happen.
