Greg my friend was recently charged with 790 violations and all were legal they do what they want.They have recently been given millions of dollars to produce these kinds of convictions or busts.All around the country snakes and snakes keepers have become a witch hunt with the witch trials to go with them.Most plead to a lesser charge and pay a stiff fine witch most goes directly in to a fund to produce more busts just as this.The days of free trade in legal species is comeing to an end.The Feds are very serious about the herp laws now in place.I do believe they will do the dna they have the funds for that exact situation.This is why some have said they quit ,the fun has gone out of breeding snakes.Just my 2 cents.Also If you go collecting in the trans pecos you will be hasseled by the law look at the alterna page it is full of people who have posted there run ins with the law this year.Texas was once a herp friendly state and in some parts still is,in other parts we are the main agenda of game officals.That is why I only collect on private land and do not sell snakes any more.
