How do you know if the uro you bought is captive bred or wild caught? I feel like I was lied to. I bought two from the same person. Both claimed to be juveniles, healthy and tame. When I received them they were both terrified of being held. The larger approx 7-8 inches and the yellow got very sick and when I brought him in it was suggested he was wild caught, at least 5yrs old and had simply become so stressed that he was captured and unable to do his normal thing that he stopped eating. He died two weeks after I got him. The second a much smaller, 4-5 inches has thrived, very skittish but eats and hides constantly. The seller kept saying it was my enclosure that was the problem but the vet and a reptile specialist says otherwise. What can I do? I just don’t want anyone else to buy from this seller and think they’re a monster for killing their babies. Please help!!

He has sold several species all of which dying within weeks and blaming it on the buyers enclosures! He knows how to seem sympathetic but numerous people on Uromastyx Club on Facebook have verified my worst fears of what he has done. He preys on people who wouldn’t know better and pockets the profit of these poor animals death.
