Sheldon! My new big baby!

[ogmoses]

Can't beat that SoCal. FYI the whole yard is his

After a horrific end to Darwin In late 12' which left the family devastated and heart broken I didn't think I would find another perfect specimen but thanks to the wonderful breeding program of Aldabramans along came Sheldon! With one of the most beautiful shells I've ever seen!!!!

As far as Darwin lets just say my first vacation in almost 10 years was one of the worst experience of my life!!!! The house sitter brought (niece) her dog over and forgot that Darwin's was out side!!! Need I say more! But after some grate conversations with Greg, low and behold Sheldon!!!

Quick facts on Sheldon
8 or so inches
4.5 lbs
One of the most symmetrical shells I've ever seen!!!

I will try to do updates often!

You should update much sooner. Sheldon is indeed beautiful and I always love to see hatchings from Greg. You are just so lucky.

* I am so glad you got Sheldon! Based on our conversation last night, he was hatched out in April of 2011 and was from the same clutch as our Tuff. Those pictures look truly fantastic. Thank for the kind words and i am so glad you have chosen to share all of your past and future experiences with this species on this forum.

* OK, I found a picture of the exact clutch of your Sheldon and our Tuff.

How wonderful! Congratulations on a beautiful baby.
I can't wait until I can adopt an Aldabra. I'm going up to the farm hopefully this weekend and checking on the stalls and paddocks for Sulcata and Aldabra enclosures.

I'm so, so sorry about the loss of your Aldabra, but I celebrate the adoption of Sheldon! Give him a chin scratch for me.
