Wild caught for pet shops, a tragedy?

[exwizard]

You have very good reason not to have WC. There are many other reasons as well. Even though I know that without the current pet trade getting its start from WC or even CH, the fact remains that there are plenty of CBB snakes to choose from now and that WC is not necessary anymore. For me its not a moral issue. Its more that the CBB snakes tend to be healthier and more "bug" free. I have 18 snakes now that range in my cost from $30 to $300 each. I will not risk the lives or the livelihood just to get a WC snake that is not known to be CBB or cant be found in any other way. Its not worth it to me. Id rather do without any more additions. As far as Im concerned there is no debate; not now, not ever.
