Please read the April 2006 Reptiles Magazine (USA), they got a story on us on p.28 "Who's who in reptiles."
Agama International is owned by Bert and Hester Langerwerf. They have been breeding reptiles, concentrating on lizards but also a few turtles and amphibians, for many decades. Bert started keeping reptiles when he was in his early teens back in Holland. His first reptile was a large land turtle from Morocco. It is still alive today! In Holland, however, the weather was not good for the reptiles. It was too cold and wet. So reptiles only was a hobby. A hobby that contained easily over 1500 lizards from over 40 species, including at one time two rare Tuataras from New Zealand. In Holland Bert also started breeding super mealworms (Zophobas morio) to feed his large collection of reptiles. He was the first person to breed these now so popular worms in the world.
In 1985 the Langerwerfs moved to the Canary Islands off the coast of Morocco. There they built a reptile park for the tourists. After two years they left to start concentrating 100 % on breeding lizards. The park is still there today.

After having traveled to New
Zealand to explore the possibility to open a park there, the
Langerwerf family moved, in 1988, to Montevallo in Alabama,
USA. They have been breeding lizards here ever since. They
concentrate on rare lizards. Agama International is the world's
largest breeder of both the Argentine Black & White Giant
Tegus, the Australian Water Dragons, and Lacertas. The Lacertas
we breed currently include: Jeweled lacertas (Lacerta
lepida) as in Vol 9 Num 2 of Vivarium Magazine
(February/March 1998), Green lacertas (Lacerta viridis),
and Grozny lacertas (Lacerta strigata) which are as
green lacerta but with stripes down the back.

Breeders" in the November 1997 issue of Reptile Hobbyist
