    Farm bred vs Wild Caught

    Hi I was wondering what exactly does farm bred mean? I've seen a lot of reptile shops say that their tortoises come from farms. Is that any better than wild caught? The poor tortoise I saw the other day had the saddest shell so I get the feeling that farm bred isn't much better. Thoughts?

I've read people have...
