As some of you may recall these were quite common in the early 90's. I haven't seen them in quite some time. There was also a chuckwalla-like specimen from Chile as well.
Does anyone have some comments about the current availability of either of these?
My assumption is either Chile is close or economically unattractive for export.
Comments?

I haven't seen them in many years. They were fire engine red! I heard they were very difficult to breed. Not sure on the details but they were neat little animals!

As far as I know, the original Chilean dwarf tegus are no longer exported from Chile and were difficult to breed.
The dwarf tegus being sold now are a different type.
Again, that's just what I've heard "out there" in the tegu trade.
Chilean Dwarf Tegus (Callopistes maculatus). These guys are only wild caught, Have never been bread in captivity, are a very nervise Fast lizard. They like a 120 degree spot and come from a dry part of the Chilean mountains. There realy not a true tegu. I use to have a caresheet for them. Anyways hope this helps.Russ
