As I mentioned before, in many reptiles that have been studied, removing up to 50 percent of a clutch of eggs can have absolutely NO IMPACT WHATSOEVER on the populations numbers in the future.
Removing 50% of the clutch is a little different than removing 100% of the clutch, and the mother (who survived to breeder age)and removing the father too and the uncle as well.
Also, I do not believe the people in these poor countries or their Bannana Republic govenments, really understand or care what happens to the snakes and many people on the other side are just chasing the almighty dollar.
