Oh wow !! Interesting - no wonder I've never seen it before Is it endangered?

Lovely looking torty it is

 

[egyptiandan]

Yes they are very endangered. They come from a small area of Madagascar and the population is around 500 animals. They are CITES I, so can't be exported from what ever country they are in. I haven't heard of anyone private breeding them, but even if someone did they wouldn't be able to leave the country they were bred in.
