I suggest you review your information and my initial post.

First, C. insculptaare not nearly as common as they were, lets say ten years ago, and they have been granted protection under CITES II appendices. I believe this would be great measure to consider such a species rare. also, you will not see hundreds of them blissfully swimming past by simply sticking your head beneath the surface of a given body of water.

Second, I was making reference to the availability of C. insculpta , especially in regards to the captive propagation of such, as Tyler indicated he was looking for breeders of the species. If you know of anyone within the realm of private herpetoculture producing such in captivity, I would certainly like to hear about it...

Best regards,

Jeff
