Testudo werneri

dnxtvet Aug 10, 2006 04:51 PM

I think I may have a Testudo werneri walking around amoung my Testudo kleinmanni. Does anyone have any picutres they could send me of them? I have already looked at Fred Erwins sight and saw his pictures. It is an adult female... Does anyone know what it is worth or if there are any breeding programs going on with them that I could get in touch with? Thanks

Just found out it doesn't exist(invalid) and the species does not exist... not published but should soon be.

I personally do not agree with the split with so few characters as the basis. (but what do I know)

A reference would be helpful. Weissingeri? I recently heard that the splitters were thinking of creating a new marginated species but...
