Hi Alex:

Great pictures! Are these your tortoises? How on earth do you keep them warm enough in Switzerland?

Welcome to the forum!!

Welcome to the forum!!

Hi yes they are mine, I have had them for several years along with galapagos, radiated and marginated.
You are right, keeping them warm is a difficult task, but I have a large heated room connected to the summer enclosure where they spend the cold months.
No eggs yet from the Aldabras but mating seem to have successfully started, so I am hopeful to see something soon !
By the way Lugano is in southern part of switzerland on the border with Italy, so climate not too bad!!

I want to see more... enclosures.. winter quarters.. galop pics..
those pics almost look tropical.
