Louisiana Pine Article

Nice article with picture from Memphis Commercial Appeal. Great to see an actual release program! Also, note at bottom where they credit private breeders with being very sucessful breeding this animal, so none would ever need to be removed from the wild.

Awesome artical. I really enjoyed it. I work at a nature center in Louisiana that has a large collection of reptiles. I take care of about 40 snakes here. One of them is a retired breeder LA pine from this program. Its exciting to see the LA pines getting some light. I'd love to see a reintroduction of our black pines too.

A side note, we also have a gopher tortoise. We all know they are suffering from alot of the same problems as the LA pines (longleaf savannah destruction).
