jeweled curly tailed lizards more likely captive bred or wild caught?

llyncilla Dec 22, 2003 02:35 PM

Saw one of these active, fascinating little guys in a Petsmart. I already have deep reservations about buying anything living from such a petstore, especially since I've done 5 min. of research on the net and already know why the set up they have for this lizard is wrong. However, before I even start on that debate-- are these lizards typically bred in captivity, or is it more likely that this guy is wild caught? I have two beautiful leopard geckos that I would not risk by bringing in a wild caught animal.
