The problem is that they are pet stores... So 99% of what they sell is not their own. And many times, especially for shows, they will literally get the animal days before the show to sell at the show. Some are against this and others are OK with this. Personally I like to go directly to the breeder but if it's an animal that isn't usually bred in the states sometimes you have to go through someone like SAS, Underground or BSR. Like I mentioned, I want to get into Caiman Lizards and the only guy I'd go to for that is Mike even though he isn't producing them himself yet.
