I always watch your videos about aldabra and i was so amazed all of them and how you care for then in a very long period of years, its just a a very long commitment keeping them. ❤
The video would be soo much cooler if you put pictures/any kind of documentation how little Cecil was and make some then-and-now comparison. Cecil's really cool!
I really don't have many picture of them when they were little I still regret it, the picture's i do have from back then came from something called a Kodak but it had this roll of stuff in side the camera I think they called it "Film" you physically had to took take the Roll out of the Kodak Then you had to go down to the drug store and pay them money for each picture you wanted. and you only got one. I have them somewhere in piles and piles of other pictures Sam
You can tell he is well loved haha. Pretty cool how they are family pets in those tropical areas. With their long life they would be a generational pet and I'm sure deeply loved by everyone. And definitely not overlooked with their size! Does Cecil like being off on his own or does he like to hang out close to any other animals or you when you are outside doing work?
He mixes it up most of the time he is off by himself looking to get into trouble but it's not unusual to find him sitting and eating with the other two big males or the females as well
Problem with breeding these is they live forever and people think they are cool pets but they lose interest quickly as they are on to other things in life. Now the Tortoise isn't cared for very well and they suffer.
Most people when come to that point they sell them because they are worth a lot of money I've had people sell me their tortoise that was in their family for three generations because the grandkids were not interested in keeping such an animal they were quite happy to collect the $50,000 i offered and move on

And here I thought you got Cecil’s name from Cecil turtle from Looney Tunes.
Cecil may need a girlfriend, or two! He's very cool!!
Thanks so much, John! Appreciate the nice comment!
