I've got a question and concern for everyone who owns, buys,and sells wild caught boas. I'm not trying to spark an argument or make anyone angry, I'm just curious. I know all of you are snake enthusiasts, because otherwise you wouldn't be on this website. My question is, for all of you who deal with wild caught boas on a regular occasion, why do you buy them? As boa lovers, aren't you concerned about their well being in the wild? Are you guys worried about them becoming endangered or even extinct? I know a lot of people buy these things in large bulks. I watch snake shows alot, and everytime, i hear the host talk about how these snakes are disappearing in the wild. I know wild caughts are usually cheaper, but aren't there enough captive born snakes in the pet trade to satisfy everyones hunger for them? I'm just concerned and curious. Thanks for reading.
