I had the opportunity to visit Agama International Last Week. The Herp community suffered a major loss last year with the passing of Agama International founder Bert Langerwerf. The Operation is still continuing under the care of Bert's Son Timo and Wife Hester who are selling off the collection. One thing of major interest were the number of really nice Shinisaurus -- Chinese Crocodile Lizards. Bert was doing great with these animals and pioneered their propagation in captivity. I was able to see some incredible Adult Breeder Animals and also some newborn hatchlings as well as yearling animals. These are truly rarely seen animals, and it is heartening to see them thriving and reproducing in captivity!

I will post a link to photos.
