Best pic ever!!!
Thank you !Best pic ever!!!
They are absolutely Beautiful Sabine!Hello friends,
for me a dream came true and I got my two aldabra tortoise babies yesterday. They have made the long journey from the Seychelles to Germany where I live.
I am ready for giving them a good life and all what they need as long as I live and after my death too.
I would be glad when you, dear reader, are interested to accompany my torts ( and me ) on their way of growing and thriving.
I think I don`t have to explain their names. In loving memory where they come from I named them Mahé and Moyenne.
They are only one day in their new home and I can already say that they are different in their behavior.
Mahé is the smaller one with the red color spot on the carapax.
Moyenne is a little bit bigger with the yellow color spot on the carapax.
Both seem to be very healthy and having a hard shell. They began to eat a few hours after their arrival yesterday and are eating well today too.
But now it is time to share brandnew pics of "brandnew" tort babies.
Enjoy !

Have you seen Aldabraman's threads, Sabine?Hello, Aldabra tortoises are very social. Even adult males can live together without fighting. To raise young ones it is better to have two or more. When one is eating the other will eat too when she or he sees her "buddy" eating. You can watch this on the video.
I think it is good for them to live as a pair or a group.
Thank you very much Lyn.They are absolutely Beautiful Sabine!
Aldabraman will have to become your best go to friend for advice now.
He has stunning aldabras.
Yes, I know the thread and I was in contact with Aldabraman.Have you seen Aldabraman's threads, Sabine?
His torts love human contact.
At 18 years of age my two had reached about 250lbs, so about half grown.Hi Sabine how long does it take for them to reach their full size?

One can see by the look on your aldabra tortoises that you are a keeper at heart. Your tortoises are really beautiful in a beautiful environment. I would never say anything else. @ALDABRAMAN~ Thank you
