I think that wa one of the best responses I have ever had on any forum. I had to read it a few times but I get it. I agree about people need to stop removing reptiles from their habitat. A few W/c is alright to broaden the gene pool. And some need to be caught in the begining to start captive breeding. That is what I mosly do with water snakes that I can catch in my area. They are so common and there is no one breeding them. I am sure after people realize what a great species they are to work with they will give them a shot and they will most likely enjoy them. I agree with you totally. But I think we do need to keep around the wild caught looking specimens. You know, bred to nothing special just a regular type that you might see in th wild. for example retics to me are most beutiful in their normal color. Most water snakes are absolutly magnificant looking too.
