Re: San Francisco's

Ok...I have to ask....are the Canadian T.s.tertataenia from the same breeding stock as the European?....or are new bloodlines somehow getting into Canada? I find it's a real shame that a snake that's so easy to breed in captivity like T.s.ssp...is not allowed, because they claim it'd be too hard to differentiate between captive bred and wild caught animals. The fact that T.s.tetrataenia may dissapeer from the US due to habitat loss and other environmental factors is insane. Other federally protected species are being captive bred. Is it really any easier to tell the difference between a captive bred Eastern Indigo (Drymarchon corais couperi) and a wild caught one....they're federally protected, but still show up for sale. Just doesn't seem right!
