looking for creosote plant

Does anyone have a place they know of that carries them, and that I can order from via interenet?

and they did very poorly. Plus the chucks would not touch them. I mail ordered them through the net. I checked a couple months ago and they no longer do that. Check the archives, Jerry Feldner posted that the guy from Desert USA maybe ships them. Tom

I wouldn't bother. I live in Phoenix and have bought them from desert plant nurseries, they don't transplant well and die here in their own natural conditions. Besides my chucks prefer the mixed greens/veggies/flowers/legumes that I feed my uro's and Rhino iguana.

Thanks. I'm glad I didn't spend the money.

that chucks only eat creosote, along with another few very hardy plants, as a last resort. When there are succulent poppies, 4 O'clocks, cactus flowers, Ocotillo blossoms, Palo Verde, etc, that is what they will eat. The Desert Nursery Tom referred to is www.cactusbymail.com. The name does not indicate all the things Doug handles in the way of desert plants. If you want a Creosote, he can supply it and it may live for you where the Black Thumb of Tom could not make it grow. In any case, if you want a creosote as primary fodder for chucks, forget it.
