Seems to me that it's not worth buying wild caught animals,
even ignoring any moral issues. The fact is WC animals
are cheaper than captive bred ones most of the time,
but what people don't realize is that for that lowered
cost you are getting an animal that in most cases will
cost you much MORE in vet bills than a healthy CB animal
ever will, just to get established. I'd much rather
pay more and get a CB animal that is well established
and healthy, than take the chances with a WC animal.
