Now taking bets the Copper Tails are wild caught.

just because something is not common in captivity does not mean there isn't some floating about,

there were some for sale on petpages a while ago, the guy who was selling them had a far few uncommon species,

 

[Tassie97]

there is a few haha

You can Jason, just so happens that at about the same time that Revell got them there was a guy in Sydney advertising only a bunch of reptiles for sale, all adults all able to be caught in their local area, and who someone I know had bought from before and got animals with skin parasites. So I'm pretty damn suspicious that all his stuff including the adult Copper Tails he was advertising were Wild Caught. Since very very few people advertise Copper Tails, it's not like can't be captive bred, but the odds are good the other way.
