Hey Lia, It's very true about the habitat destruction here in Maryland, especially Calvert Co. its the fastest growing county in the state. I used to collect herps and then later breed herps for the reptile trade and worked with coastals in the mid eighties and became familiar with them in captivity and in the wild, with some success breeding them. I have been totally out of the reptile scene for the last several years but am ready to do something again but for a different reason(not for profit). Plan on keeping/ breeding exlusivly wild caught coastals.I am allready in the process of setting up a few dozen "microhabitats" to help me collect these guys and should have a good breeding colony built up in a couple of years.
