She is not a rescue. I am facilitating her transfer to a breeding situation. A little pyramiding, no MBD. My guess is that she was imported decades ago with all the belliana.
Largest kinixys I have ever seen of any species.
How big?
So is belliana or zombensis or what?

Zombensis.
Thought so. Are these guys really rare in the US?
Never seen any over here. Oh BTW, have been speaking to someone having a go at breeding Madagascans in Germany, will be great if she can produce them regularly.

Very rare in the US. I know of 6 pairs total. I am sure there is more though.
In Germany there was a man I don't know the name at the moment who breeds domerguei. He get 2,4 I think at 2000. 2007 he got his first hatchlings. He sell all his adult and babys. I don't know why... I only know one men who gets 2,2 from him subadult. He is a lucky man :-D.
She is majestic. Really beautiful. And such a history on that shell of hers. Congrats! Great find! : )
Not to "piggy-back" your thread Benjamin.. a few years back a few good-sized K. erosa showed up here and I was able to maintain them. I used vinyl [ soffit - 10" ] as a sight barrier.. they were incredible climbers!
Not the best size comparison I realize.. there were a couple in the group that were this size -
I've never seen that kinixys either.. they certainly rival some of the big erosa I've handled in the past - beautiful tortoise she is!

I thought zombensis are usually about 8 inches-am probably wrong- so this would be very unusual.
2nd hand knowledge here, but someone told me that at Hamm-one of the major European reptile shows- a few years back, there was some CB zombensis for sale, BUT price was not cheap at all-according to him they were asking 5000 euros for one. I can't verify it as as I said I've never seen any for sale, but would be staggering if true.
