Chacoan giants are only bred by one person, he lives in North America and doesn't ship out to the Europe and so on.

I think...

Because true locality "Chacoans" don't exist as we know it in captivity. I'm sure we have animals from the Chaco region in captivity, just undocumented. The Chaco name was coined for a line of B&W Tegus that were being selectively bred for color. It started with Ron St. Pierre and branched out to others who picked them up after he sold most of his collection.
