I actually totally disagree and think MORE normals should be bred, and made MORE available than the wild-caught specimens. If the control of the animals lies in responsible breeders, not only will fewer animals be imported and live in harsh/unsuitable conditions, but breeders can educate CORRECTLY those who in all likelihood want to provide the right kind of care for their animals.

a huge amount of animals are in bad condition because pet shops gave bad advice. imagine if everyone of those people had the right advice from the get-go. more captive bred, healthy snakes.... what's wrong with that?
