all i ever see for dickersoanae collareds are prices that nobody in theire right mind would pay, anyone here know where to get em for less than like 600$ a pair!it makes me so angry! since the first time i saw one, i've love their turquoise backs and white spots and wanted to own one. just look at the top of the collared forrum page, they are beutiful.any breeders........?

You'd be surprised what people in there right mind would pay. Some people even pay 2k for eye dropping cb gila monsters or rio fuerte mexican beaded lizards. I'm sorry my friend but you have to pay to play. Your paying a premium for a collared lizard that cannot be readily collected from the wild and are not even found in this country. I breed these awesome animals and 9 times out of 10 I will never have to advertise them to the public for them to go to a good home. There are 5 people waiting in line for every 1 that says they'll never pay that price. It's ok though, collareds in general even fine cb specimens will sometimes be problamatic for even the advanced crotaphytus keeper. 600 a pair is a huge risk for some with no guarantees for 100 percent survival even under the best conditions.
