The CHU is a government approved facility, located in Uruguay, South America.

We have bred reptiles and amphibians since 1977, when a Phrynops hilari was first hatched.

Our main interest is research on captive breeding of side necked turtles and lecturing on a broad range
of Natural History subjects.

We also breed some lizard and snake species, such as black mussuranas (Clelia occipitolutera),
white blotched mutants of this species (overo) and a few others.
