Posted by: crotalus75 at Fri Dec 19 12:16:56 2003 [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by crotalus75 ] I do agree that over collection is detrimental. I have not kept a wild caught specimen in my collection for over a decade because I don't believe in taking specimens from the wild that are readily available as captive bred. However, I would (and probably soon will)keep wild caught specimens to add new genetic material to my breeding stock or in the case of species that are not bred in captivity I would definitely acquire a group of wild caught breeders for captive propagation. This ultimately leads to healthy captive bred animals being available to the public and takes some pressure (however small) off of wild populations. | ||
