does anyone know wether or not the snakes at petco are all wc or are they all cb?

Their snakes are either WC or farm raised in countries of origin, either way they're fresh imports and should be treated as such. The corporate pet store philosophy is buy low and sell high. This is not conducive to buying CB or high quality animals.

Actually, Petco purchases a large number of their snakes (if not all) from The Gourmet Rodent (Bill Brant). All of the animals from Bill are captive bred, with the exception of the Ball Pythons he brings in every year.

Hope this helps.

The Corns, some of the Kings from stores that get Calzoo shipments, Leopard geckos and Cresteds are C/B...everything else is fair game.
