Triaspis have always been a favorite of mine. I currently maintain a small collection represented by three localities. WC specimens can be difficult to maintain and have a high mortality rate, even long term established captives. Hibernation tends to be the most problematic time for them for reasons unknown to me or most others, and it's during this time that most die. Breeding in wc specimens is also sporadic. In a nutshell, stick with cb specimens, and even though they are high priced, after dealing with wc's you'll understand why :)
