Katrina,

MD regs are NOT what we want. You can only possess 1 to 4 wild caught founder stock? That is wrong. You can't sell wild caught? That is wrong.

Every herp species not listed as Endangered or Threatened should be allowed to be harvested. What we need to push in every state is regulation based on need and managed with bag limits in a sustainable manner, period, end of story. The policy should be the same from state to state. We need to normalize herp laws so we can have a clear and precise legal pathway to conduct our businesses and hobbyies. Every state should have a herp specific collecting/hunting license and track all harvest. For those species for which there is a concern, reasonable bag limits should be put in place with all data, expert testimony and literature used to support the bag limits placed in its entirety on the states wildlife agency website for transparency and public scrutiny. There should be no possession limit and no ban on wild caught sales. This policy approach will create jobs in wildlife agencies, create small businesses in the private sector and manage herp populations in a sustainable manner. This is the only policy we should except and it is the only one we should be pushing for.
