Nephrurus Wheeleri

I heard along the grapevine Nephrurus wheeleri are kept in captivity.
Just wondering if they have been bred? Will there be any avaliable in the near future?
Anybody guess their price??? (I imagine they will go for a pretty penny).

they certainly are nice looking and probably a worthwhile investment if only a small number are being bred
