Still searching for savannahs. One idea I thought of would be to adopt one that someone else couldn't or wouldn't look after properly. Not too keen on the idea though. My thinking is that it would almost certailny be wild cought or possibly captive hatched which is very nearly as bad, could be too sick to survive very long or too scared and agressive to go near. The only plus side would be getting a savannah, but at the moment I'm not convinced it would be worth it. Any thoughts?

Do what you think is best and then be responsible enough to carry through with your decisions.

The last CBB boscs in the US were from Ravi a few years ago, and it was many years since the last breeding in captivity. If you want a bosc get one they are all WC animals but a small hatchling you would have the best luck with, but an adoption (where someone is giving it away, no sales or adoption fees) would be good for the animal if cared for right.

What about the moral/ethical side to buying a WC, baby or not? The choice between WC and CB isn't just about whether the animal will be healthy or not. Buying a baby savannah is supporting an industry that is detrimental to the population (As the prime breeders, gravid females, are the ones being collected), detrimental to those females (who get dumped after they drop their eggs, with no care taken to release them where they were caught) and detrimental to the hatchlings (who are shipped together in large numbers, undoubtedly leading to the death of many).
