Yeah that was my bad for assuming things. When he told me how many he had and that he had raised the majority from eggs, I immediately made the assumption that they were captive bred. I was wrong. He collects them himself from areas of Arizona and New Mexico where it is legal and he HAS in fact raised the majority from eggs, however they were eggs that he collected as well. So I guess in a sense, they are captive bred. I'm happy that he's eager to make us happy and the next nine that he sends, are suppose to be flawless examples so we will see what they look like when they arrive.
