Re: Wild caught for pet shops, a tragedy?

"back in the day"......wild caught used to be all we could really find. I remember buying a wc Texas Indigo about 30 yrs ago. Completely parasite ridden, and despite the vets attempts, it died about 3 wks later (not much help w regard to exotic veterinarians at that time either).

There are so many captive bred options now wild caught is not even on my radar. I'm grateful to the "pioneers" who have successfully bred these wild caught stocks into a sustainable and plentiful source.
