: :I'm all for captive breeding and higher prices.

Me too, just went to a show today and saw bins and bins of little Russians - all wild caught and about 20 bucks each.

Bins and bins of w/c 3 toed box turtles too, many with the holes on the shell from being pulled out of burrows. They were priced 14-19 dollars...
Many were sick, a couple who couldn't open their eyes, damaged eyes...very depressing.
