Yes, you are right. I know they are protected in some states and there has been the zonata disease. But I hate to say that most collections lost it's diversity since they all jumped on the Ball Morph Money Tree. That's sad cause nothing shines that bright then a nice Mountain King Snake. I wonder, what happened to the old guy's snakes. There must have been a lot of breeders of them.
