Clear as mud, Mike. For example, your statement:
I personally think that anyone that supplies these markets should get their bag limit fair share but if the demand is to great then those species should be ranched to feed the demand. They should use their fair share bag limits as founder stock to start captive "ranched" programs. Of course if the species in question is an introduced exotic then bag limits should be unlimited.
A state wildlife manager might respond to you that, while herps might certainly produce a surplus just like any game animal, and that surplus could be apportioned to private collectors, the bag limits would, like is the case with all other terrestrial game animals, be relatively low. This would effectively ban commercial trade (or actually end up banning it by law-I know of no state in which native game animals or birds are allowed to be commercially hunted).
Now, since bag limits are highly unlikely to be set at a level that will satisfy you or other commercial collectors-or, indeed allow you to survive financially(for example the asian turtle market is for all practicle purposes "insatiable" , are you saying you would support this? ----- Brad Chambers
