Re: Wild caught for pet shops, a tragedy?
Just an insert here.......
The Palmetto line in Cornsnakes was started from a WC male, without that male being caught and bred, we would not have that beautiful morph coming into our hobby.
Also, someone here had mentioned that the breeders focusing on morphs are breeding out the "true bloodlines", this makes no sense at all, the morphs are there, in the wild. They just tend not to survive to breeding age because they are too easy to see by thier predators, it's not like breeders are genetically altering the "true" bloodlines!!
