There are some at a local facility in my area. D&J has been working on projects with them over the last few years. I spoke to them last summer about the topic and they said that they currently havent been doing a lot with them simply because theyve been really busy with other projects in Indoneasia, but perhaps by now they have had more time.
On a side note, East Bay Vivarium of Berkly CA,was given a pair of Bengals last summer. Heres the strange part... they were FOUND in a local park. Unfourtunatley, the male passed away, and last I saw of the female in January, she wasnt doing so well either. I had a peek at her (she was in the back in an unmarked tank) and she was very emaciated and not holding down food. I asked an owner about her, and the chick didnt even know she was there. I searched around the place until I found someone more helpful, who actually was willing to give me the 411. So who knows by now what the deal is. Hopefully she pulled through.
The thing is, you just gotta do some foot work. These arent the kinds of animals people are really going to be advertising that they have.
...Of course in November I did see an adult for sale in the classifides for 5k. Timing is everything I suppose.
Good luck to ya on your quest!
