The whole idea is simply frought with peril . . . with the example of the Desert Tortoise staring us in the face, one wonders why anyone would take that risk with wild populations anymore.



Reintroductions should be left to professionals - with each individual carefully monitored for health and genetic integrity. I know of no private individuals that have the facilities to run such an operation - you would have to raise only the species to be reintroduced, with attempts at allowing breeding to take place naturally, and to carefully monitor for pathogens.



I would rather feed all my non-feeding baby alterna to my chain kings than to release them into the wild!
