Deer Fern Farms

I ordered two uro's from them and I must say communication, packaging, and animals were all superb!!!
Great people to deal with and you can tell they take pride in their animals.

I can't remember the owner's name off the top of my head...I think it's "Doug". Anyway, he is a great guy. I have talked with him at a few shows and picked up some veileds from him. Awesome Uro's, too.

I'd recommend him to anyone.

Gee now how smart was that to post a good guy thread and not put down his name, lol
Douglas Dix and he is a great guy to do business with!!

I agree -- Doug Dix is a wonderful person to do business with and extremely knowledgeable about his animals. I've seen his facility and it is exceptionally clean. I've purchased uros from him, and I see him at our local show every year. I would not hestitate to recommend him to anyone!

I have been purchasing from Doug for at least 6-7 years now. I just purchased Blue Tongue Skinks from him last weekend. Doug is old school class. The best of the best. He knows his critters like no one else. There isnt a better Uromastyx breeder out there. These skinks are at the top of my list too.

Very helpful, very informative. He just hooked me up with a wa. local small exotic mammal breeder. His suggestions for my new store options were fantastic.

Quality animals and quality guy! As always, thanks Doug!

Doug Dix of Deer Fern Farms is excellent to work with. I recently purchased a Uromastyx from him and I am very happy with the new addition to my collection. Doug is the most knowledgeable uro keeper I've ever met, and has produced a good number of captive bred Uros and Chuckwallas, among other animals. He also has a PhD in wildlife toxicology. Doug Dix = GOOD GUY!

When I rescued my first uro, douglas we nice enough to answer many questions of mine to help me.

He was very patient and helpful, even though I was not purchasing from him.

I too have had great success with Dr. Dix, I have gotten his "second pick" Merauke BTS several times. The one thing I have to add is that Dr. Dix is still well immersed in the "old school" in some things. This can often lead to great success, and has for him, but I think that some of his keeping processes could certainly be modernized a bit. Although I already knew Blueys fairly well at the time of my first purchase from him, Dr. Dix was absolutely insistent that the best diet for Blue-Tongues was a high quality dog food . Although I am not saying this is entirely incorrect (although I would do it differently) , I may hesitate to recommend him to a first time keeper who would believe everything they here from an expert like Dr. Dix. Overall though his animals are of the highest quality around, and his table is absolutely always the most crowded with customers at the local shows at which he is a vendor.

Just a little fact about "ol" Doug dix.... yea I like malis too! After looking for almost a year I wanted to scream.. I was having NO luck finding 4 nice large mali females for my stud! Out of the blue I get a call from Doug asking if I still wanted the 4 females I was wanting last year? Heck yea I did! I couldn't belive after only sending Doug one email about females he came to me OVER A YEAR later and had 4! All 4 were awesome and prewormed for me at my request. . . Doug, you da man!

Completed an order with Dr. Dix and could not be more pleased. Two unrelated specimens of hard to find Uros in immaculate condition and larger than expected. Packed extremely well too. Very happy!
