I bought an Avic. Acic. From lifestyle. Was not happy with the enclosure size so I upgraded then and there in the store and have not had any problems. I also added a spacer to the lid so that there is more ventilation. I should probibly drill some holes too though.

Any wild caught animal tends to be heavily infected with parasites. These are usually microscopic, such as nematodes, and can make a healthy looking animal die without any apparent reason. Too late now, but try and avoid WC's.

The problem is that some suppliers aren't always honest, especially when their goal is to pawn off as many as they can in as short a period as possible.

I do not specifically recall asking at the stall whether they were captive bred or wild caught, but I usually do since there is also a huge difference between the two in regards to reptiles too.

I have read and heard of many people who have had bad experiences with this shop. When I went to the shop to get the Avic I was shocked at the states of the enclosures and the keeping of their animals in general. Other people have complained of the same thing here on this forum too. I suppose some T's are just better at surviving than others, whether they be wild caught or captive bred.
