"If you want a wild-caught adult for a breeding project, go directly to an importer or broker, not a pet store"

I've seen importers and brokers that take far less care of their animals than some pet stores. This is another example of painting every pet store with the same brush. Very few brokers and importers take the time to acclimate their animals properly. Its in and out as fast as possible to minimize loss and maximize profits. I agree, many pet stores are the same way, but my point is that you don't alway get better animals by moving up the supply chain.
