* It is our experience that it is virtually impossible to accurately determine the sex of an Aldabra at that size based on tail size or shell structure!

I looked at the underside of my two Aldabrans monthly until they were too heavy for me to turn over. When they weighed about 150lbs. I saw first one, then the other, flash. That's how I found out I have two males.

Disappointed. I was hoping for a pair, as they're not related.
