Troy,

I hear you. There many places I go to (All over the southwest) just about every year (Not this year lol) because I enjoy them so much and not collect. Some places I herp are strickly for collecting as I want a particular animal(s) for my collection. Some places are new to me and I want to find a target animal (Like many of the alterna) but, in almost most cases not collect. We are all different and there's nothing wrong with that. Two points I was trying to make was "mixing it up a little more" out in the field locality wise and I would like to see more alterna releashed from some of the more popular locality spots because there is really no reason to do so. I know and agree that collecting alterna from any road does not hurt them and I am 100% for it. I just don't quite understand why someone who already has many 277 animals keep taking ALL 277 animals that they find even though they know they don't want it and keep going back and repeating the same thing. Again, I'm not attacking anyone on this matter and I really don't care what anyone does. To me there is no reason to collect evey alterna found just because it's an alterna. But, that's just me and my deal and I respect everyone else's.

Swwit,

I can understand the "not an ugly alterna" thing. The first one I found was a black on black blairs and she was the best looking snake I had every found at that moment. Believe me I understand. Like I said; "To each their own".
