Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Lost Aldabra 27-29" 150-200lbs---Now Found update!
Hi everyone, my name is Sean Meyer, I won't be long winded here, I had 2 Aldabras that broke out 4 months ago, I really thought I would find them easily on my farm, and one was found quickly. Unfortunately, the other was not found...I reached out slowly to some of my tortoise friends who deal with these beautiful giants to no avail. Yesterday one was found that matched her size down towards Ft Myers Florida. This info was relayed by concerned citizens to a good friend Aldabra keeper who reached out to me. I am attaching a picture of the tortoise that was taken yesterday and asking the neighbors that took her in to reach out to me. I am offering a reward of either cash or radiated baby. This tortoise is very important to me and have raised her since 2013 as a 4" baby. Please I just want to confirm if this tortoise that was found was or wasn't the tortoise I am missing, I am not wanting something that was not mine. My phone number is 504 274 9795, I can also be found on Facebook or email seanmmeyer@yahoo.com. Again the picture was taken yesterday in Ft Myers Florida, anyone with info please reach out. Thx for your time.

Tortoise ID'd not mine
Hey everyone, just wanted to say thanks to everyone that has reached out and that is keeping a lookout for this tortoise . The one that was found in North fort Myers yesterday, unfortunately is not mine but I'm so glad that it was returned to its rightful owner who has had this amazing animal for over 40 years. He had a wonderful neighbor that recognized the tortoise, and brought it home to him. Unfortunately is still missing there is still a reward cash or baby radiated, for the safe return of my aldabra. Any help or information is so appreciated, I held back from letting everyone know because I thought it would be easy to find them; she's so big. I have found every tortoise that has gone missing from my farm and they were way smaller than 200 lb. Hope someday to see her again, thanks again I appreciate all the love!

Update.....She has been found
OK, she was found quite awhile ago now, but i have been getting alot of people asking if i ever found her, and could i update.....so here goes.
When we lost Norma or Jean....we are unsure which is which now....we thought for sure it wont be long till we found her. We figured, she is huge, no way can she just not be found eventually by us or the neighbors, but we do live in the woods with large propertly tracts. Boy were we wronge, she was gone and not a word. I held off really advertising her loss as i thought it may hinder her coming back to me because of the value that is on her because of what she is and how big she is; I was wrong in that statement.
Fast forward 11months from when we last saw her, I am changing my oil up in Jacksonville, and receive a call, that usually i would just let go into voicemail, but saw a local 386 number so thought it might be important....and boy this time i was right. On the other end was a gentleman/hunter who says he thinks he found my tortoise. Of course i was thinking no way....but again i was wrong. These Hunters spent hours trying to find her owner knowing she wasnt native, though at first someone thought it was a gian gopher tortoise. I had finally posted the add for her 9 months after she was lost, and a local neighbor who was with them remembered seeing it. With that info and a little more sleuthing, they were able to find me and confirm i was the owner. She was over 4 miles away in a hunting preserve in the woods....she blended in...in almost impossible circumstances she was found in the middle of the woods in the middle of nowhere.
They brought her home, and we pleaded for them to take the the reward....which they wouldnt, they were just glad to bring her home.
She was a little shell worn, but for going thru many a mid 20 degree nights and many 30 degrees plus nights, she was quite well, heavy, but ready for a bath and some food. We are so glad to have her back with her sister, and thank you to the seven hunters that brought her home.
