"Whatever was done multi-captive-bred-generations ago is water under the bridge. End result: who here hears of anyone buying WC bearded dragons, or going to Australia to collect their own? It's a lot cheaper and easier to buy one for ten bucks, or get one given to you for free. "

I know of someone in the early '90s that went to Australia to collect bearded dragons (among other things). They got busted in FL. U.S. Fish and Wildlife busts people all the time, whether it is "take" for the pet trade/food/medicine. There is demand for "new" blood-lines or the "next big morph" in the pet trade.
