Didn't mean to sound like i think wc is evil or smthng. I have caught and temporarily kept things since i was a very young child. I had a newt that only had 3 legs for over 10 years.. afaik there are almost no venomous snakes that are cb, but if you can keep one responsibly go for it! I also know nothing about russians, it just seemed like she had available choices when i first read her post. Im just sayin i feel slightly less bad for a cb tort that ends up in the hands of a bad owner than a wc that was doing fine. Not that anyone here is a bad owner, we are here for a reason on the other hand wc animals in a good owners hands just got an all inclusive retirement. My beef is with the commercial pet industry and its lack of education and responsibility... I'll shut up now
