>>I understand many of you have already, or are planning to, submit your information directly to TPWD, or to NAFHA or other databases. That's fine and does not conflict with this project--the purpose of this Snake Days report is not only to ensure the data is put to good use, but to show that events like Snake Days an be a powerful benefit to wildlife agencies, university research, etc. and should be supported rather than viewed as an "us vs. them" scenario. Furthermore, the more we as a "herper community" can demonstrate "legitimacy" in the eyes of academia and even LE, the more "clout" we have in helping to change/shape laws to allow us to further contribute (such as being able to salvage DORs for universities, which is currently still prohibited without special permission) and yes--perhaps even to fully return back to the "way things were" (legally picking up an animal on a roadway, for example). >>
Hey Chris
I took a sheet and lost it somewhere between Sanderson and Milwaukee. Could you please outline what info you need again so that I can send as close to accurate as I can? ----- Cindy Steinle PHFaust Visit kingsnake on Facebook! Follow Kingsnake on Twitter!
