Are these ever captive bred, or mostly caught and shipped over? Every one i've seen for sale has been wild caught, and i was just wondering

Hi Scott,
We have a clutch hatching at this time (captive bred).
I suspect they are not as common as one might imagine, and since the husbandry can be tricky - so the whole breeding and reproductive process is not as easy as some other chams.
Actually, there are some cb flaps for sale on the classified KS ads - but we have noticed that this only happens maybe twice per year - so there are not that many flapneck breeders out there. We may not be breeding them in the future either, as we are leaning towards the montane species to compliment our panther colony.
The imported flapnecks are cheaper than we want to sell our cb babies for - that might be another reason they are not as popular to breed.
Hope this helps,
-----
