Re: what about BOB
It is possible that the problems that occurred last year were related to an environmental issue or something not completely indicative of Bob's husbandry. As others have pointed out there are things that could have made the situation worse. Anyway, I would tend to agree with mikm. Ihope that Bob is being selective in his capture techniques and is letting some of the babies go after they WC moms give birth (I'm assuming this is how he gets the babies) This sounds like one of those snakes with a limited range and over collection, even by one person, could have detrimental effects. I see ha also has several other species of NW amphibians available as well. In my honest opinion it is people like this that Wisconsin, and more recently Texas, officials, were trying to put a stop to when they enacted laws restricting native herps.
Anyway, I have just ordered two pair of baby puget sounds from Rob and Amy (no Amy I haven't forgotten about them) and I am looking forward to getting some nice healthy CBB specimens even though I will have to wait a few years before I can breed them. That is if State laws will allow me to breed them.
