This is the age to get her Before she skyrockets in price because the breeding potential goes up every year. I imported this female from Mauritius a few years ago to add her to my breeding stock. but a deal came up and I moved in a different direction. Aldabras grow slower in their natural country of Origin Aldabras are older for their size in Mauritius then they are in the USA Not all 29" Aldabras are the same, an Aldabra raised here in the US is larger and much younger. Importing females has proven in the past to be the most likely to produce over their US counterparts. I purchased her a few years ago for $42,000 and she was $15, just for shipping total all in $57,000 I am offering her now in this winter because i have to sell something in the winter to keep cash flow moving I am offering Her $59,000 That price will probably go up in the spring when sales start to kick in with better weather and tax returns This is a great time and age to acquire her before she skyrockets because of the breeding potential
