Actually no herps that have been in captivity should ever be released into the wild because of the threat of introducing harmful pathogens into wild populations. Look at what happened to the Gopherus polyphemus and Gopherus agassizii when the wild populations were infected with a potentially deadly UR bacteria resulting from releases of captive infected tortoises. NO ONE SHOULD EVER RELEASE THEIR NATIVE CAPTIVE HERPS FOR THIS REASON.THANKS
