This 20-year-old, 27" male Aldabra tortoise is an exceedingly rare offering, as larger males are extremely difficult to find on the secondary market.

In the wild and captivity, males at this size are prized for their future stud potential, yet generally only breed successfully when they reach about 26 years and around 39 inches. In 4 years, this male will be in prime breeding condition—a foundation animal for any serious breeder or collector.?

Males of this caliber are scarce because their natural social structure means colonies typically have only one male for every four or five females, limiting aggressive competition and minimizing injuries among females. In contrast, groups with multiple males and few females can result in overbreeding, leg injuries, and carapace scarring among females, making careful group composition essential.

This makes males far rarer than females and greatly increases their value for anyone assembling a proper breeding colony.?

This male offers outstanding future stud potential. Secure him now before demand further restricts availability—males this size grow increasingly scarce and valuable as they approach breeding age and size.
