Doing what on do, both job and hobby, I get a bunch of calls while on duty to get wayward herps out of snowbirds houses. I simplt take them out to a very unpopulated area (assuming they are not injured) and realese them. I have access to several wildlife sacuarys down here (Everglades, Big Cypress, Ding Darling) as well as several smaller ones. Most of the nature rehab centers that we have will simply use the snake for display and leave it in captivity for the rest of it's life. I am not against wild collection per say, I just don't want to be responsible for takeing another critter out of the wild, there is enough captive bred stock out there if someone really wants a Diamond Back, they can get one.
Thanks
Jim Hopkins
