List of ethical and reputable chondro breeders

Since we went out of our way to highlight some unethical breeders in the chondro game (it’s not a game Michael Juarez, it’s a hobby) here is a list of reputable breeders (we have absolutely no affiliation with anyone but have enough experience in “the game” to know good from bad):

Here are the best

1. Marcial Mendez of Red Mountain Herpetocture - the guy is an OG in “the chondro game” and does not overproduce.

2. Gary Schiavino of GS Reptiles - another OG who produces quality animals. Does not overproduce and helps others sell their animals

3. David Brahams of The Reptile Perch - high quality breeder who generally does not breed the same female year after year.

4. Buddy Buscemi of TheGTPKeeper - his reputation precedes him. You will be thrilled with any animal he sells to you.

5. Ryan Young of Molecular Reptile - ethical breeder who cares deeply for the multiple species he is involved in. True source of knowledge within the chondro hobby.

So there you have it. You cannot and will not go wrong buying from any breeder on this list. You may, however, deeply regret your purchase and lost income if you go with those we recommend against.

We are happy to field questions and are here for you.
