remember, there are only 4 major importeres/wholesalers in the usa. then theres the zillion distributors who buy from them n sell to suppliersn dealers who sell to the public and the petshops. so basically most allof the stuff originates from the same places we all order from. then all that matters is how well we do or dont take care of those animals.. i mean heck how many black throat,nile monitor, savanna monitor and water monitor breeders do u think there is? they all originate at the same places...
