They are nothing but trouble for anybody breeding animals. Absolutely counter productive to conservation through captive propagation.
What if you want to hold back a couple of clutches of something to see what the offspring would look like when they mature?
What if you were working with several localities for a species and doing so would mean exceeding your limit (especially if you had just 3-4 animals per local)?
What if you specialized in on species as a matter of personal interest and wanted a large breeding stock?
In truth possession limits do nothing more than look good on paper, they are as useful as another hole in the head. I would say make no such suggestion, especially knowing that particular concern in Texas is addressed by a commercial permit system already. No need to double up regulations on the same concern.
