I think it's because they're really hard to keep because of their food source.

Supposedly difficult to feed as of ants being the main diet.
However some people do have a lot of success with them.
Nice animal thats for sure.
Not sure how well they breed in captivity.

G'day guys,

Thorny Devils are a lot like Green Pythons, in that those who don't keep them are convinced they are hard to keep and breed, but those who do keep them normally have nothing but success. They are definitely in captivity, at both wildlife institutions and private keepers. I believe a guy in SA breeds them with some sort of regularity, and from memory the bubs are around $2000 each.

Cheers

Jonno
