As far as conservation goes, there isn't much in the way of anything to avoid. The biggest thing is ensuring that whatever species you do get, you make sure that it is captive bred and not wild caught. Most Ts you get from major chains like PetCo and the like are wild caught, hence why I refuse to purchase from them. If you have a small local pet store, you can feel more confident in buying a captive bred species.</p></blockquote><p></p>
