Carusima- You make a great point...if a morph is found in the wild that due to color/pattern would make it difficult for wild survival, then ok...you are saving an animal.

Another point I forgot to make on OxyLepy first comment...
We wouldn't be killing genetic lines. The genetic lines that exist in the pet trade in the United States are already thriving...or they wouldn't be available for sale. And if they aren't thriving...it's because they are an early project....as long as a handful of breeders have a certain type of morph, then babies WILL be made....and WILL be sold. Without capturing wild versions of morphs that are already heavily present in the captive born & bred industry.
