I don't consider any species less "desirable" than others. Imported flap necks are often purchased by general pet shops as they are relatively inexpensive. If it is a young cham (how do they know? Is it a juvenile?) it may have been hatched/raised in captivity. I don't think anyone is breeding them in the US. Any cham can have parasites as their insect feeders carry them. If the cham is active, healthy, good weight, and had good care it could do well. Check the forum's care links to compare the right husbandry to what the pet shop is doing. Just be sure to have a decent herp vet check a fecal sample for parasites so you know what to expect.
