Pff yeah i've seen to much of them in the past month's.
Mainly German dealers got a lot of them at the moment. Prices between €1300-1500 each.
Only at the Nijmegen show at the beginning of this year there where 8 specimens for sale.
Try search www.terraristik.com and then kleinanzeigen and search for Abronia...

Like Jordi said, quite a few of these around at the moment, but at ridiculous prices. too bad, if they were more reasonably prices I'd love to have some. Apparently not that easy to breed, so not something I'd spend a couple of thousand on for a pair.

I've been tempted to buy some before, but as said they are extremely expensive, so not something you just jump into like that.

I was told they need a serious night time temperature drop to thrive and breed. (Such as is also needed for mountain chameleons and such). For me that was the main reason not to get into this project (for now... Very Happy

) as I couldn't provide such climate without killing off my other lizards....

But, again; they are absolutely amazing!
