breeders?

How many of you guys are breeding horned lizards? What species are you working with? What has been your average clutch size? I would like to work with these little guys and have been doing my homework off and on for about two years or so but wanted all the info I could get before acquiring one.

Thanks

Hi Louie,
There are only a handful of us breeding with any success at this point. Solare, cornutum, asio, taurus and platyrhinos are the species that have so far been bred successfully.
I believe mccalli, coronatum and hernandesi have been bred in the scientific community.
It is a lot of work and takes some real dedication.
Good luck to you.

Thanks for the info. Hopefully I will be one of few to successfully breed them in the future. I do realize there is a lot of work involved but that's what makes you appreciate this hobby that much more!
