That is why I said your letting them go back into there natural habitat.

I am not saying take them in breed them and let them looose in the french alps. If they are a specialist living in this enviroment and you save that area then re-introduce them to that same areaa how the heck can you say they wont adapt? adapt to what they lived there before.

I was showing how these non native reptiles can revert back to being wild and fending for themselves here is all. I was not saying let them loose in my back yard to save them.

This is all hypothetical and may never be done, but I wanted to see why he thought it would not work. The only reason I got back is as you said which makes no sense within the context of what i am talking about. Now if you change it to fit as you both are talking about it does.
