Wild caught or captive bred?

[dannybgoode]

As per another post of mine I am looking at acquiring a Macklott Python.

Currently I know of two sources.

First of is my favoured reptile store. Hugely knowledgeable owners and give absolutely the best advice and are always there to support their customers. The shop is immaculate all the time and the livestock well cared for. However their Macklott's are wc.

The other source has some cb's they have bred themselves and in the photos they look nice snakes and there is a pic of the mum. That said I've never bought directly from a breeder and algorithm necessarily know a good one from a bad one. But, I do prefer the idea of cb to wc.

So, wc from a shop I really trust and want to support when I can or cb from a breeder I know nothing about (although I should cb macklotts are very hard to find as so few people keep them so I assume the breeder has a strong interest in them).
