I know of someone right now that i have talked out of doing just that but does he euthanize them. No one really wants what he has and a major crises came down on him and his family and forces him to have to eradicate his whole collection. I will tell you that they are mostly wild caught and semi-long captive animals. I have read the exchange of diseases and the mortality rate of releasing animals back in to the wild and even know that some states absolutely forbids this. There has been some hint that a few breeders have released species back into wild due to the non-market or value that they have perceived that they would get and not wanting to " give the critters away ". I have also hinted that why these people are still breeding if that is the case. You know that fallacy about letting domestic pets breed and having at least one litter of offsprings has been proved to be bunk. This is another example on things i just don't understand of why some reptile enthusiast breeds and have offsprings when they have changed their lifestyle to not be in the whelms of bringing to market or value or a way to do what they had done before.
