The only place I've ever seen them is at the Repticon shows. Sorry...

I used to see some on Kingsnake in the mammal section, and on Faunaclassifieds. It has been a while since I have looked at those sections though, so I am not 100% sure if any are on there right now.

I think it's best to find a local breeder....shipping mammals can be very stressful and VERY expensive! Best of luck!

this is going to sound totally random, but i'm going to visit my mom near orlando this weekend so i was looking at orlando craigslist ads, and there's a very recent one for this exact species:

Maybe that could work out for you?

Honestly...good luck. If you find one. Get a pair and breed a colony! You will have no trouble selling extras. I have not seen one for sale for ages.
I have been trolling for african dormice since my last pair died in like 1998...no luck yet! Small rare mammels are so impossible to find sometimes!

My wife is breeding them, we have babie now. The big problem is shipping them. I'll ask her if she knows of any breeder near you.

Here is a link to an old ad. I does have photo's of mom & babies. http://www.cornsnakes.com/forums/showthread.php?t=100633
