TALK ABOUT A TIME MACHINE. Lets go back to, a little herp History. Its all the fault of Zoo's.(kidding of cource to be PC) Collections were representations of the ranges of snakes. A Zoo might boast of having all the Western Rattlesnake species. People read "Snakes and snake hunting" "The keeper and the kept" It was before captive breeding. Captive breeding was a natural progression of what we now call herpetoculture, NOT HORDING. I would say for the better, as wild reptiles were captured by the thousands for Zoo's and Instatutions that put them in Formaldehyde. Before that people collected Stamps with pictures of different snakes! VM
