This is true of many captive animals, they barely resemble their wild counterparts.
Keepers of many species need to open up their eyes and smell the coffee.

*applause* Couldn't have said it better myself! I wish there were more people like you in the herp world, Wayne. The passion you have for your animals is so apparent and so refreshing. People see those stupid youtube videos of these 'tame' animals and think 'oooh! look how cuddly! I'm going to get one!' and then the animals suffers and dies a slow painful death. Or the pet store looking to make a buck will tell the buyer improper care and not tell you that this animal will one day need IT'S OWN BEDROOM. That's how the Nile I rescued came into my care, and it's how 1000's of others like him are living. Just really sad, to be honest.
