Doesn't make it right thomski - some of them are kept in glass boxes (glass boxes for God's sake) whereas in the wild they'd live as nature intended ......
Trust humans to make 'pets' out of every living thing.
Leopard geckos are a domesticated species and come in several colour phases, for goodness sake!
Just like cats, dogs, canaries and rabbits. I've never heard anyone complain about keeping those in captivity.
If looked after properly, domesticated animals mostly live at least twice as long as in the wild and have an easy life.
^^ You've never heard anyone complaining about keeping those in captivity - well bully for you ! And here's the rub isn't it, IF looked after properly. I live in the real world, do you ?????
