They look like common mangoes from the color. All our rescues love the mangoes so much that fall from our huge Haden tree, that we recently planted trees right in the middle of their pens.

Yes, common mangoes are a paler colour than the fancy ones like Bombay and "Julie" mangoes. My iguanas love them too.

They absolutely love any ripe mangoes! Cute photos of the feast!

The mangoes I fed to my Redfoot this year were particularly sappy.
Several of the tortoises had moving beards made of ants afterwards. Lucky for them, they aren't fire ants.

LOL!!! You must have given them the common mangoes known as "Hairy" Mangoes. When you eat those the threads stick in your teeth.
