I just saw some in the classifieds. If you are really interested e-mail me. I can give you a name of a friend of mine that will collect babies for you. He is a commercial collector in NV. I have talked with several people(Scott Patterson and Keith Ealy) that have worked with these. They are very difficult to acclimate as adults for some reason especially the red gravid females that you see. They said it is best to start with babies. There was a guy from I think South Carolina here on the forum that was breeding them a few years back. Also I think long lost Fabian also had some. Tom

He used to be on this forum a lot. IN fact, a friend of mine that lives out west caught him a male to go with their female and they did have successful breedings and offered some for sale last year or the year before. The females can definately be beautiful. I think they guys name was Jeff, and his wife was Sue2...anyone know where they are these days?

answer his emails, maybe he has me on a black list

Never see Skyliner, Jason, anymore, after all his driving me nuts with his wise cracks , we became buddies and he disappeared also.

Fabian, jumped right in there, and out just as fast, have to find him too, ehhehehe.

My friend Jim wondered away after he lost his lil friend Dexter. Have to get him set up again ,

There are so many, maybe they will come back. But one thing thats nice, we have so many....

NEW buddies on here in the past year or so.

I guess a lot of people just don't stay with the animals. Maybe get them on a whim and then realize it's not for them and get out-Smart people! HEHE. I've done that myself with some animals.

Can't wait to see them hatchlings! I think I've stocked Eve up to the point I can get rid of all mine and start getting more involved in chucks and less into collareds. When I want to see my lizards, I log onto Kingsnake and look for Eve's posts LOL

Thanks, Eve...you're the best!

I will be so curious to see what the girls of this mating will look like.

Thats if all goes well, geesh ya never know with eggs, what will happen.

I know I will keep a male and female no matter what, jsut because these 2 collareds have always been very very special.

Don,

I have seen leopard lizards in the pet trade, though it's been several years now. I used to have a pair and they were the sweetest captives I've ever had; Boris and Natasha, I called them.

I hope you get your hands on some. I know you'll love 'em.
