3rd generation CB animals are not domesticated. In an agricultural sense domesticated animals are, by definition, animals which have been converted from their natural form and function for the benefit of human use or consumption.
Buffalo, boar, elk, and salmon are all commercially farmed, as are reptiles, but no domestication (change in form) has occurred therefore when released have usually as good a chance of survival as a wild relative.
The closest example of domestication in reptiles is the colour selection that occurs. In that case if you released as red bearded dragon, albino boa or orange gecko into the wild they would be poorly suited and would probably die. ----- My Site
