[QUOTE="sunset, post: 201432, member: 37682"] sorry post sent to early, but all T's were originally wild caught. a lot of the rare specimens are also not in the trade or are hard to breed in captivity so they are always wild caught. If you can get them from a breeder that is great, but they are also loosing habitat more then we are taking from the wild s in a sense i guess if you do have a wild caught, depending on the location, you could be helping with conservation of the species. Imo and I'm still learning too, as long as we keep them to the best of their world and our abilities, I think herping, not sure if that's the right terminology here, is okay as long as the land and the species is not under threat or protected. Captive do come with the added bonus of being healthier due to parasites' and such. I think it is a personal preference really. Great discussion question! Id love to hear other keepers thoughts on this.... [/QUOTE]
