WANTED! Coast Horned Lizard

Hello I'm really interested in obtaining a Coast Horned Lizard ..

I had one a while ago for about 5 months but i had to move and i took her back to where i had cought her. Great pets now i moved back ( ironicly) and would like to get another one since i still have all the housing and heating and all that stuff that my other ones used to live in. So if anybody has one for sale ( preferably young one) id love to hear from you

I'm in SAN DIEGO.. CALIFORNIA

The coastal horned lizard is an endagered species and therefore illegal to keep. I'm glad to hear that your last one survived the 5 months you had it. Many to most horned lizards don't survive very long in captivity. Go to www.phrynosoma.org for more information.

ohh wow.. that sucks... ok well thanks for lettimg me know =D

The coast horned lizard is not listed as endangered, it is listed as a California Species of Special Concern, but it is still illegal to keep.

Still not really good news for those who would like ot have one of these? NOW i got a question... what if i were to get one but keep it at my syster's house in Tijuana Mexico... Would it be ok if i bought one online or whatever and get it deliverd to my house here in SD (since they cant be delivered to my systers in tj :P ) and take it to her house. the terranium is lareayd set up with everything im jsut missign the pet so would that work out ok? or no... Just curious

Because no one is captive breeding coast horned lizards, and collection in CA is illegal and it is not legal to export herps from Mexico, you won't see them for sale on-line. If you were to track some down, they would not be legal animals. There are, however, several other horned lizard species that are readily available on-line. Desert horned lizards are offered for sale pretty regularly. Round-tails are offered occaisionally. I've even seen cb Texas horneds on rare occaisions. If you have your heart set on a horned lizard, I would go with a legal more readily available species. I have no idea what the regs are in terms of bringing herps into Mexico.

Ok, I thought they were listed as endangered, guess I was wrong. In the end it still amounts to the same thing as they can't be collected or kept. If anyone finds the regs for taking herps I'd love to know. I'm looking at moving down there and I'd really want to take at least one lizard with me.

hmm desert horned lizarD? i think they look exactly the same as the coastals don't they? and are the deserts' legal to keep how are they different from the coastals they seem to both live in a desert like climate....

www.phrynosoma.org has information on all the horned lizard species. Desert HL's are legal to keep. They are still hard to care for and keep alive. Coastals don't live in the desert. There used to be populations around san diego but with the sprawl and the argentine ants most of that has been killed off.

wow.. well if i cant have the coastal theres this oen i saw in that page ( it was a good reference page) thanks . well if i cant have the coastal then the REAGAL (solaris) horned lizard seems pretty close to the coastal id like to have one of those then. anybody know anyone who sells those or give them out or what not. if apreshiate the info . THANKS AGAIN GUYS!
