I'm pretty sure both petsmart and petco sell captive hatched, not captive bred. BIG difference. Look into it.
...I'll double-check on my next workday (Tuesdays and Wednesdays are my "weekend" of sorts) but I felt sure the documentation I was given said the words "captive bred."

I'll still double-check though. Wouldn't be the first time they labeled things inaccurately.

Your co-worker may fall in this category.
She actually falls into the "if you buy a dog you are a horrible person" category, believing all dogs should be aquired through rescues. Which isn't too bad...my current dog is a rescue pup from a local no-kill shelter. However she does take a dim view on those of us who also would buy a dog...my next dog, for example, is going to be a present to myself and will be a purebred and show-quality animal, which I will not spay/neuter as that would disqualify me from competing. This of course makes me a horrible person. e.e

Likewise, I intend on breeding Ball Pythons down the road, purely to breed the snakes in morphs I want, and if I break even selling any superfluous animals I'll consider myself lucky. By her logic, I'm a terrible fellow, some kind of cruel animal hating prick or something.

Thank heavens she also dislikes snakes and reptiles in general and declared I'm some kind of freak for loving them. Ergo, no innocent herps will have to suffer under her blissful negligence.
