I apologize, I just realized you said they will not go after something that isn't threatened. Southern Rubber Boas are listed in the state of CA as threatened, so my bringing up my friend's experience with Op Slither wasn't a good parallel to the situation with alterna, since they are not listed.
However, according to the info rpelez posted, it appears that if any animal taken contrary to any state law, is transported across state lines, Lacey Act applies. So it appears that an alterna that's collected on the road is now just as illegal as an alterna that was collected in the state park. USFWS could go after you for collecting an alterna in Big Bend Ranch State Park if you took it across state lines, could they not? Maybe I am wrong.
