Mike I have a question for you shouldn't you know state regulations and laws before collecting. What if queen snakes were endangered in PA, and you were collecting them would this seem right?? Just not from and ethical point of view, but also from a legal point of view. Also did it ever dawn on you that snakes are becoming more and more rare in your area because of collection??possibly your collection, duh. Also in a previous post you stated what is the difference between snakes eating eachother in the wild and snakes eating eachother in your tanks. Well once again lets think. If you take a queen snake out of the wild and let's say that was going to be a meal for a wild ringneck snake. Then either that wild ringneck is going to eat another queen snake or it may possibly starve. So therefore, you taking queen snakes out of the wild it will adversely affect something, whether it is the queen snakes or the ringnecks, your disrupting the food chain. Also mike if you can't afford to buy food for your snakes then you most likely can't afford to raise your snakes properly since pets and animals require alot of care. Mike I'm not trying to cure your ignorance, I'm just trying to enlighten you to how your words are perceived.
