Dragon Farm is a captive breeding facility for lizards, tortoises and amphibians in Portugal.

All of our animals spend most, if not all of the year in spacious outdoor enclosures where they can live in the most natural conditions. It is our belief that by providing captive-bred animals we can help to ensure that their status in the wild is preserved. While we supply mainly to the trade, both wholesalers and specialist reptile shops, there are also occasionally opportunities for the hobbyist to purchase animals direct from us, particularly at the European shows.

Please use the menu above to find out much more. For a list of the animals we have for sale see the available page.
