i have an uro that i always say is wc but is actually imported cb or ranched. what exactly is ranched?

Well many lizards are/were imported in great numbers from different countries, and are sickly/ dehydrated, stressed, and so forth when they arrive/

So they are ranched, or farmed basically means - that it is being bred and/or hatched in controlled environments in their native land. As a result, healthy and spunky babies are now widely available, as are animals bred here in the States by a few dedicated hobbyists.
