Most of the snakes I've owned have been wild caught, and they have all done very well. I can understand your concern and opinion, but many of us in the herp community actively search for reptiles in the wild that are legal to collect, and bring them home.

Agreed. That's how the reptile industry started.

Re: Thread Snakes?
Still, Its kinda mean. If you are able to buy them somewhere they have been bread, and no longer are wild, you should. I understand it is how it started, but they know are bread for a reason no?
Most Savannas are brought over, and more then half die. My Savanna Link was so close to death when I bought him off Kijiji, truly I did not even want him, but had to save him from the prick who was feeding him cat food, and had a water dish the size of a bottle cap (bit bigger and yes I'm way off topic sorry)
You should start the stop to animals being ripped from there habitats directly. And save the ones who have it bad. BUT I do understand why one would want a free ranged reptile.

If it was a species that is commonly bread, like boas or pythons or corn snakes, then I would agree with you and would have been looking for a breeder (since that also lets me know how their health is.) However, the whole reason I'm asking about them is because this species is not (as far as I've found) captive bred by anyone in the states. There is a species of thread snake that people are breeding, but it's not the one I'm interested in. Part of the appeal of this snake is that they aren't captive bred or commonly kept, and I like the idea of having a unique snake.

Re: Thread Snakes?
Korbin, Its not so much that I do not know what I am talking about, there are not a lot of wild reptiles around here. But there are sought after wild pets that people try to bring in, and a lot end up dead. I'm am going into Wild Life Tec, and Forest Management for collage. This is where a lot of my objection comes from. When taking most species out of the natural habitats it lowers there life span. I'm sorry I did not mean to offend anyone (if I did) or cause a ongoing debate.
If one if very strongly knowledge about the animal and ensures its life, then alright I see your point. But most times it is the case of trial and error.
My apologizes if anyone sees this as trolling a blog, and wish the best of luck to you and the animals.
