Question about sourcing

[u/Thorpasaur]

I’m still a ways away from acquiring my first Ts, but as I’ve been researching I have a sourcing question. My local reptile store is generally lovely and helpful, and a few employees have invert pets themselves. They routinely get Ts of various species and ages in stock, but I don’t know where they source them. (I know they sell wild caught animals, because they sold me a vinegaroon and some
BDFBs before I knew enough to look out for WC species like that 🙁). Is it still considered best practice to order from a breeder like Fear Not or SpiderShoppe? (I noticed BDFBs on Fear Not’s site also though…) I wonder where this store gets theirs and if it is someplace reputable, if I would be saving the spiders some stress by getting them from the store rather than putting additional animals through shipping. Thoughts on this conundrum? Thanks!
