I still kick myself for not buying these when available for less than exhorbiant prices

Seriously? What do they run these days? Nearly 20 years ago I worked for a guy that had a reptile/amphibian shop and we probably had 6-8 adults...never sold one in the 4 or 5 years I worked there. Heck, we couldn't even give 'em away. I don't remember the price but they definitely weren't more than a hundred bucks or so. I personally thought they sucked. Would rather have had a ball python.

(legal) exports got totally stopped 5-10 years back. CB's sell for about a grand now. Makes me cry a little everytime I think about htem selling for 80 bucks and my younger dumber self being too intrigued by bigger "bad ass" lizards to care.

They always gave me the creeps!

Yep...I didn't care for those, and a few other "things" we had. Ironically enough, I agree with macreedy's post a while back...tokays and cuban knight anoles. I hated them.

I used to catch both of them in Miami! I know a place to catch wild Brown basilisk, and green Ameva's too! There all over this one area near the Air Port.

Yeah, I guess it's been quite a long time since I've been there huh? I don't know if you remember a wholesale place called Pet Farm, but the neighbor hood near that place was fun to hunt, lol. They had so many escaped reptiles, you never knew what you would find! I caught a large Ball Pythong under a board once, and Lizards of all types were running around. I had fun when I lived there!

LOL! Aint that the truth. The guy I once worked for had a shop near a post office, Coca Cola distributor, automotive shop, and a couple other businesses. We'd occasionally get a call from one of these places, reporting a loose snake. One time a guy at the Coca Cola warehouse reported finding some kind of "yellowish orange" colored snake with an attitude. We figured it was gonna be a corn...nope. A little while later a dude showed up with an albino baby BURMESE in a cardboard box! We also had some type of iguana species. I don't remember what kind they were though. They were like a dark grey in color, and would always just run back and forth in their gandolas. They were totally wild and with zero personality (at least in captivity). Anyway, we had an escapee that lived outside on the property for probably a couple years. I'd always see him out in the back parking lot basking near a bunch of old racks and cages and other junk.

I just remembered my wifes aunt used to live across the street from Amelia Airhart park,(not sure of spelling), in Hialeah, and I saw what looked like rock Iguanas, but I could never get close enough to get a good look. They had holes dug into the grouns and would disapear! But I do think that's what they were, they were fairly large.
