Growing up I have always been fascinated with all living creatures, but reptiles seem to hold a very special place in my heart. Since of my love I’ve decided to start my own independent reptile shop. The shop that I am planning on owning will not have the same core morals of big chain suppliers. A good home means more to me than cash.
I’ve always supported and still do to this day captive bred and born. Now though I am realizing that some species are farm raised instead of being bred in captivity. I am trying to determine how I feel with “farm raised.” I am hoping with help among the reptile community that I can get a detail opinions about farm raised. Should I only carry captive bred reptiles, and never mind creatures that can only be raised in a farm. Also who are good vendors to purchase from? It’s extremely important to me to only purchase from people who love and dedicate themselves to these awesome creatures rather than just being a profit. I hope I can gain some helpful advice. Please give your opinions. Your feedback is extremely important to me!
Thanks!!
