it doesnt matter if you are a herper or a person who stumbles onto on one in your back yard. it doesnt matter if you have a fishing license or not. the only thing that matters is that rosy boas readily breed in captivity. it is irresponsible and wrong to take rosy boas out of the wild. doing so only depleats the wild stock, reduces genetic variation and increases the likelihood of inbreeding and reduced fitness, and reinforces the notion that capturing wild animals for pets is "okay", when it isnt. this species has lost significant numbers in recent years due to back yard collectors. if you want a roys, buy one from a breeder. think of the money you put down for it as an investment in the long term sustainability of rosy boas in the wild.
