Do you ask if an exotic pet reptile was captive bred or taken from the wild?

RE: Do you ask if an exotic pet reptile was captive bred or taken from the wild?
I'm going to basically spew out some of the same points Fishbone made here. I always ask when I'm buying something if it's W/C or CB. For a variety of important points....For one there is the risk of bringing any kind of unwanted parasites/illnesses into your home around the rest of your collection. Which yes you should always quarantine any new addictions, it's just better safe than sorry. Secondly it does take away from the natural environment in most cases. Then like Fishbone said, a lot of times they don't do so well in the transition from wild to captive. So in conclusion, yes I prefer captive bred and hatched.
