Hi, Can anyone recommend some reliable suppliers of captive bred herps for a pet store that's trying to avoid selling wild caught? Thanks!

Not having a store, I'm unfamiliar with many of the suppliers that don't also advertise to the general public. The larger of thse I'm sure also sell wholesale. I would contact LLLReptile, NERD, East Bay Vivarium ect and/or go to some of the larger trade shows to the breeders themselves and just make some contacts. Make it clear that you only want captive bred animals and I"m sure you'll find some good suppliers. In the end though, you'll probably compromise the ease of just using one supplier, but I think it'd be a worthwhile sacrifice. Good on you for avoiding WC.
