Anyone working with Forstein Torts? Are they Testudo or Indotestudo? I was trying to google up some info and saw listings both ways?

OK Upon checking the WCT site I see they are indeed Indotestudo. Soooo anyone working with them? Breeding them? Had experience with them at all?

Anja check out the new Reptiles magazine. There is an article on Forstens in there. I know of a few people working with them. People are breeding them and hatchlings are available.

yup.. forstein is indotestudo. i know it coz the tortoise is original tortoise from my country.. actually, i never have them as my tortoise, but my friend have some and has try to breeding it. i'm not sure whether he did it or not coz i never contact him again.

Try geochelone too. You have lumpers and splitters. I have the same problem with my burmese mountains.
