Curious if anyone has this subspecies.
Does anyone here own Kinixys zombensis?

Zombensis is now a full species, elevated by a molecular study led by Kindler which was published in 2012. Nogueyi was also elevated to full species at that time.
Zombensis are stunning tortoises, aren't they? They are quite rare in the US! Truly a holy grail tortoise really, as they haven't been imported since 2000.
Do you keep other species of hingebacks?

Hey, I do keep a 2.2 group of K Zombensis.
Awesome! Have you gotten any eggs and/or hatchlings?
One of the males seems to be mounting the females other then that not much action so far, bought the group a month ago.
Wow, those animals are stunningly beautiful. This definitely is one amazing Kinixys. They are extremely rare here in the U.S. We're yours recently imported? There shells are very nice and smooth.

Hey Randy, I had 2.3 up until 2005, and sold them to another person in NYC. They may still be out there, the images I have of them do not match up to any I have ever seen posted for sale.
