M7 and F7 are an Aldabra tortoise pair being offered for $39,000. F7 is a 22-year-old, approximately 28-inch female. At her age, she has reached the stage where a female Aldabra can potentially begin producing eggs. M7 is a 9-year-old male measuring approximately 27.5 inches. He is not breeding size yet and will need a number of additional years of growth before I would expect him to successfully breed a female like F7. And that’s really where the value of this pair comes in. Good male Aldabras become increasingly difficult to find as they get larger and closer to breeding size. People who own big males generally don’t want to sell them, and their value can increase dramatically with age and size. A male like M7 already represents a significant portion of the value of this pair. But a truly large, breeding-size male is in an entirely different price category. A 39-inch male can be worth in excess of $89,000 by himself, and I have personally sold exceptional 40+ year-old giant males over 40 inches for $159,000–$179,000. So I look at this pair as a sweat-equity pair. You’re getting a female who is already breeding age and pairing her with a younger male that you allow to mature. You aren’t paying today’s price for a fully mature breeding-size male—you are putting those additional years into him yourself. For comparison, when I put together pairs where both animals are mature enough that breeding could potentially occur immediately, pricing can start around $129,000 and increase substantially depending on the animals. At $39,000, M7 and F7 give someone who wants to build toward a future Aldabra breeding pair a very different way to get there. This is not being represented as a proven breeding pair, and there is never a guarantee that two individual animals will successfully reproduce. The value is in their age, size, sex, and future potential.
