I have about 5.7 at the moment. I'm not sure on actual numbers because a friend and I just got another group and have not divided them up yet.
They are produced fairly consistently in Europe but not as often in the US. Many keepers, myself included, are able to get fertile eggs but they fail to hatch. There are loads of threads on this in the archives.
Last year I got a clutch of five but had to move when they were at about 80 days of incubation. I took the incubator to a friends and unfortunately it was left unplugged for a week. 100% my fault and I paid the price for it - I lost all the eggs.
The female continued to lay fertile eggs even though she had not been re-introduced to the male. Unfortunately I lost those eggs in a flood.
She is now copulating with the male again and I'm hoping for eggs, obviously. If I'm able to hatch the eggs I will be keeping all of the babies for myself.
But to answer your question, this species is produced in small numbers in the US but the babies are fairly difficult to get ahold of.
Here's a picture my adult male.
