Wild Caught Versus Captive Bred

for me personally, i could only see myself getting one if it is a hand-selected dinker / oddball with some really unusual features that i would try to prove out.

Thanks for all the information and feedback, especially about potential feeding and health concerns with a WC animal. I already know I wouldn't buy her unless she was eating, and if that means someone else who doesn't mind snags her, that's the breaks - there are plenty of other BP's on the market.

Some importers know how to get their WC stock feeding on rats pretty quickly though but that is from years of experience working with them. I personally would have no problems buying another WC if it looked like a nice dinker. Its amazing how calm my subsaharan girl is, she has only ever hissed at me when I removed her eggs and even then she was relatively docile compared to some others.
