In-House Breeders

 Chuckwallas  (S. obesus)

Calico Male- "Crown" South Mountain Red-tail Male -"Ebony"

 Red Backed   Juvenile
 

Of the South Mt. Carrot-tailed Chucks, we currently have 1 trio of breeding age with one hold back pair of juvies for future breeders.  Of the Crater Mt. Red-backs, we only have a few juvies so that project is still gearing up. I do purchase some from a colleague who hatches some each fall so we hope to have a few extras to sell later this year or mid winter 2009.  I no longer keep Angel islands but again have a colleague I  buy from so again we should have a few available in the fall.  Of the San Estebon Island chucks we only have a pair of juvies as well so they are several years out from producing any offspring. Those will be for instate (Washington) sale only due to special permitting requirements.

Our Calico Chuckwallas (Angel Island-San Estebons intergrades) are finally old enough to breed and we got our first eggs this June (2008).  With luck we might have a very few to release late this winter or next spring, once we get a chance to try and sex the offspring.

 

We are avid supporters of captive breeding  and are always looking to support fellow breeders by purchasing healthy captively produced clutches of Chuckwallas.  Please let us know if you have an interest in wholesaling your clutches.  We hold all purchased specimens for several weeks after being shipped to us so we can verify their condition and to let them settle in before being offered to the public.   So you can rest assured your hatchlings will be well cared for.  We occasionally buy exceptional adults as well.  E-mail us photos  if you wish us to consider your specimens.

For those looking for hatchlings or older specimens,  please look over our various web pages to get a feel for what we carry.   Please see "Deer Fern Farms Ordering / Policies"  for ordering information.  Availability for the various species can be seasonal or sporadic so please e-mail or call us (360 435-2679) if you're looking for to add a Uromastyx to your family.  We keep a "Wanted" list and fill it as specimens become available.
