Abronia for Sale

Abronia are the gems of the New World cloud forests. These high elevation dragons come from the montane forests of Mexico and Guatemala, where they spend their lives in the trees using prehensile tails to navigate branches and bromeliads. What makes these animals truly captivating is their combination of striking coloration and incredible personalities.

Finding true captive bred Abronia is difficult, especially considering most animals in the hobby were historically wild caught. We're proud to offer genuine captive bred babies produced right here in our facility. That means healthy animals with no parasite loads, no import stress, and genetics from established captive lines. You get our health guarantee, detailed care protocols, and direct access to our breeding team.

These aren't beginner reptiles, but our comprehensive care guides make lizard ownership accessible for keepers at all experience levels. If you can meet the requirements provided in our care guide, your animal will flourish in captivity.

Our Abronia Species

We work with two Abronia species from the cloud forests of Mexico. Both are arboreal with prehensile tails and require similar care focused on cooler temperatures and high humidity.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Abronia require intermediate care due to their specific temperature and humidity needs. They're not as forgiving as a Crested Gecko, but they're not exceptionally difficult either. If you've successfully kept other arboreal species and can maintain stable environments with high humidity, you'll do fine with Abronia. Our care guides walk you through the specifics.
Abronia thrive at room temperature, typically 65 to 75°F. Heat lamps can be provided for a hot spot of 82° F. During breeding season, you can add seasonal heat lamps to encourage reproductive behavior, but this isn't required for general care. Maintaining stable temperatures and proper humidity is more important than hitting specific ranges.
Adults need vertically oriented enclosures 18 inches wide, 18 inches deep, and 36 inches tall. These are arboreal lizards that climb constantly, so height matters more than floor space. Fill the enclosure with branches, cork bark, and live or artificial plants to create a dense canopy where they can hide and feel secure while still having climbing routes throughout.
Abronia are insectivores. We feed crickets, small dubia roaches, and other appropriately sized insects dusted with calcium and vitamins. They have good appetites and aren't picky eaters. Gut loading your insects with quality food is important since these lizards grow slowly and need proper nutrition over time.
Most Abronia reach 7 to 11 inches total length, with roughly half of that being tail. Lythrochila tends toward the larger end of that range, while Taeniata stays slightly smaller. They grow slowly, taking a year or more to reach adult size, which is normal for high elevation species.
Only pair Abronia if you're trying to breed them. Otherwise, they need to be housed alone. While they may tolerate cohabitation temporarily, keeping them together when not breeding creates unnecessary stress and competition for resources. Each animal should have its own enclosure for daily living.
Captive bred Abronia typically live roughly 15 years with proper care. Their slow growth contributes to longer lifespans compared to many other lizard species. These are long term commitments, which makes starting with healthy captive bred animals even more important.
