I don't collect wild for sale. I will take a really nice specimen to use in my classroom or as a breeder. The thing is here in Fl the rapid growth in all but protected areas is rampant. I have seen great snakes and turtles in the wild and left them, thinking I was doing my part by not overcollecting.
Then a few months later seeing the entire area bulldozed. Then I think if I had kept the animal it would still be alive. preserving large tracts whenever possible seems the best answer but that conflicts with making money.
