I have a limited number of Baby Aldabra tortoises coming in from the Seychelles in the Indian ocean. These tortoises are born in their native habitat. This is one of the largest species of tortoises and one of a few that are native to islands. Adult aldabra tortoises can reach 600-800 lbs. People are most familiar with these giants as seen at several large zoos across america. One of the most gentle of giants. These tortoises are legal to own and are not a threatened or endangered species like the Galapagos tortoise from the Pacific islands. There are more than 150,000 wild aldabra tortoises on the Seychelles islands.

Please do you research on this species and understand the cost involved with raising a giant tortoise to adulthood. Also, there is a cost associated with owning such a unique tortoise, so research the costs and you'll find my prices quite fair. I will only respond to e-mails from individuals that have a genuine interest and knowledge of this species care and habitat needs.

I emailed the guy...

I'm in the process of working on the imports to get them delivered from the Seychelles. Price is set at $1,850 ea. These are 4-5" baby aldabras. Payment is due upon pick-up locally or prior to shipping.

I have to purchase a minimun lot, so I am confirming buyers at this point. Please let me know if you are interested. If so, I will require a small deposit to hold the animal.

Best regards,
Ryan

my recommendation would be to just get one off kingsnake for any really serious people. they are cheaper, and you can see the actual tort you will get. especially, you should buy CB instead of WC anyday.
