If I'm not mistaken Underground Reptiles also sells a lot of wild caught animals. Generally, any company that has such a huge variety of species is best to steer away from, it generally points towards reptile farming/importing as opposed to them breeding the animals. The majority of keepers don't have a need for wild caught imports, and they can be more difficult to get started and keep healthy.
Outback Reptiles is another company to avoid due to the same issues, and LLReptiles also sells a lot of wild caught animals and is a flipping business, they don't breed the majority of their animals.

Thanks for all the information. This was the first time I ordered a snake online and the first time I ordered from a place like Underground Reptiles. Usually I get all my animals from breeders and it seems like I should just keep doing that. They said he was captive bred but I guess there is no way of know if that is true or not. Thanks again.
