I just went to the zoo and..

Yeah.. it's not going to be easy. I wouldn't be able to afford one any time soon anyway.

Sometime..

The first time I ever saw one was at the zoo too. About two-three weeks ago when I was googling (is that word..;) )...I found a guy in Flordia that has them. I wrote him, and asked if he had any adults or babies for sale. He told me not currently, but he would let me know when he had some babies.

Can you post the link please?

It wasn't a post, I wrote him an e-mail after finding his website online.

I meant what's his website.

Here is his website. www.markmlucas.com Just send him an e-mail asking about the Boelens...thats what I did.

I've only seen one once and so know very little about them, but I did find this link that tells a little about them....

Here's another sourced from O'Shea that says they have the same protection status as the bird-of-paradise in New Guinea.

And finally... Don Patterson seems to have some that he intends to breed at some point.

Aren't the colors of the young and mature alike just awesome!!

Thanks guys. This person has some also: http://www.dougtaylorreptiles.com/index.html

There was another person.. there was a spot in reptile magazine 'breeder's spotlight' I think, and it was on boelen's.. stupid me, I didn't bookmark the site, and I don't have the magazine! Anyone have it? I e-mailed that person though.. no reply yet, but we'll see.

Do you know what issue it was? I could dig around and look for it.

Mark M Lucas no longer keeps Boelens.

Schlyne.. I think it was the issue before last.
