I know a little bit about them.
They are flighty... easy to keep...and... they get REAL big.
Imagine a small pachyderm with a shell... seriously.
In your lifetime you can expect 250 - 350 lbs (or better) in size.
If you can handle that, they are the most fantastic pets.
Email me for a care sheet.

Hi,
I am a breeder of Aldabras in the Seychelles, with a partner in Texas.
In fact I am sending a final consignment for 2004 in a couple weeks. Let me know if you are interested.
I would be happy to assist you with any questions that you may have about this species.
If you would like to get in touch, just click on my username.
Take care!
