Hello!
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.

Aldabra Tortoise Aldabrachelys gigantea ( 3 lot pictured )
3 lot, ( picture taken after soaking 11/09/23
Aldabra Tortoises Aldabrachelys gigantea
Captive hatched, USA bred
$4300.00 for "group of 3 pictured" from 3 different adult females
$100.00 flat rate for shipping if needed.
Nice little investment !!!
last picture shows what they can look like 3 years later at 15 inch
Can grow to 140 lbs over 24 inches at 8 to 10 year old.
We have over 250 lb Aldabras at 18 years old.
We have sold 100's of baby Aldabra's over the last 30 years.
Please Note: 90% of their shell growth and personalities pend on what you do with them as they grow. Proper husbandry is critical with any animal that gets Monster sized such as an Aldabra Tortoise.
We treat them with patience & respect as they grow into amazing long lived HUGE tortoises.
FACT: We shipped one from local zoo that was over 600 lbs.
Some husbandry care:
diet is changed up so they get used to many different items to eat
"Spring mix" from market ( 7 different type fine greens ) twice a week
Spineless Mexican Pear Catus leaves cut very thin like french fry shape but thinner ( twice a week )
Romaine Lettuce ( just the good green parts ( twice a week )
Mexican squash "ripe soft" ( cut into 1/4" high circles ) fed couple times a week with other items
Calcium should be added at least once a week to any of the above but works best on the spring mix or Green lettuce
All young Aldabra's are soaked at least once a week, twice is better depending on hot you keep them
"Inside care" I keep them in rooms that are set at 81 degrees day and night and then they can also go under heated areas in their trays to adjust their own temperatures higher at will.
Bedding is clean fresh Timothy grass or Orchid grass checked to be soft and free of foreign objects they could hurt them
Their trays are completely cleaned out at least once a week or as needed.
Tortoise housing trays are at a slight slant so all liquid flows to the front for easy clean up daily.
100's of baby Aldabras raised up first year with the above method, no negative issues so far
Thank you Chris Estep
