Perhaps, or perhaps BCC closer in the family tree to a wild caught subject are less tolerant of captive conditions. Not all animals thrive in captivity. Look at the struggle to keep WC ETBs alive. Perhaps CBB BCC that are several generations removed from the original WC parents have built up more of a tolerance to the captive environment.

Why are young BCC more prone to regurgitation issues than adults or sub-adults?
