    Captive bred or wild caught?

    I got my ball python at petco 2 months ago. Does petco sell captive bred ball pythons or wild caught ball pythons? If anybody knows, keep me informed.

    Re: Captive bred or wild caught?

    Most likely, it is Captive Hatched....which means the eggs are collected in the wild (or the gravid snakes are collected and lay their eggs before being released) and hatched in these big "farms" in Africa. Then the babies are sent to the US and other countries by the thousands. These are the babies that Petco is most likely to have.
