Thank you Adam.
Stunning torts.
Silly torts.
Sabine they are a credit to you. Simply gorgeous and growing so fast!
Thank you Linda. Maybe in one year Ma & Mo are as big as my sullies. The biggest of my sullies weights now 14 pounds. They are two years and three months old....
A lot of heavy torts one day.

They are looking really good Sabine. They will be very spoilt little ones.Thank you Linda. Maybe in one year Ma & Mo are as big as my sullies. The biggest of my sullies weights now 14 pounds. They are two years and three months old....
We want more!
New update: Ma & Mo are steadily gaining weight. They are becoming big babies !

13.10.2018 = 274 gr
17.11.2018 = 353 gr
30.12.2018 = 522 gr
Mo
06.09. 2018 = 256 gr
05.10, 2018 = 278 gr
13.10.2018 = 320 gr
17.11.2018 = 454 gr

Ma right, Mo left
This is Ma. Not shy, curious. She allows me to touch her and makes the "Aldabra-lift-up" when touched.
This is Mo. Always "on the run" when he sees me. He is shy and skittish, don`t want to be touched. Hopefully this behavior will change when he`s getting older.
It is amazing how different these two torts are. No one should say that reptiles or tortoises have no personality. They have !
I love them both. Little shelled children .... LOL !

Amazing how quickly they’re growing! Those cute necks are getting long too! [emoji173]️[emoji173]️[emoji173]️[emoji173]️
WOW!! That IS fast growth!!!!BEAUTIFUL!!!
They have the longest necks of all of my tortoises. Maybe the neck seems to be longer because their head is small. It is typical for aldabra tortoises. And they have big eyes.
Their growth is scary ! I think in one year they are as big as my sullies now.

Thank you Heather. Maybe you want to add an aldabra tortoise to your critter family too ?

Oh I’m tempted!!!! But I am discovering the cost of tortoise fencing now. And with these Giants, the acreage really starts adding up.. they’re not near as easy to keep in as my horses[emoji37]

Wow, but they are growing fast. And Ma is so sweet. Mo I am sure will eventually change I think the more you handle him the better. They are really doing well, well done on a job well done.
But tortoises don`t jump !
That would be funny, jumping giant tortoises ! Btw: My horses never jumped over a fence
Aldabra!man did post a photo once of one of his bigger ones attempting to scale a wall. That's quite a weight to support!But tortoises don`t jump !
