They arent illegal to obtain and own. You can buy them CB (the way to go anyway) for about 600 and older WC animals before the ban. Im sure there is the odd smuggled specimen or imported from other countries where they are kept.
Bert Langerwerf of Agama International has a pretty big group, and I wouldnt doubt his lizard breeding skills
Anyway, Tokays, good way to go. About a dozen morphs, and I hear the evil reputation is null and void when CB. Ive heard them compared to cresteds.

You may be right. But to most people, they're not the most desirable lizard (due to appearance and alleged temperment), and no one is willing to shell out that much for one. Regrettable, since they are still very interesting skinks and usually have great personalities.
