Wild caught amphibians travel all over the world for sale. In fact the majority of amphibians for sale are wild caught. If you have adult sized Hyla squirella then it is a safe bet that they are wild caught. The first rule of pet shops is that you don't believe the pet shops. And before you think that they don't lie about this kind of thing, I am very experienced with the British pet trade. There were a few captive bred Gray Treefrogs around recently (British Herpetological Supply was wholesaling them) but I don't remember any CB Hyla squirella.
