"Many "herpers" have BIG egos and they think that what they do is okay. For instance, a guy from Austin bought wild caught snakes from a commercial collector and then went before the TPWD Commission and bad mouthed commercial collectors. This is rampant in the herp industry. This being, hypocrisy."

Yes Mike, those would be the narcissists with their "I'm better than you" Prep Mentality, the ones with the "do as I say, not as I do", "my s#!t don't stink, but yours sure does" mentality...those that curry favor with "Authority" seeking validation. Of course, Authority welcomes their support, to sanction and validate Authority's agenda. The pandering and cronyism go hand in hand like two peas in a pod.
