Wow.
Where to start. I cant site references now, but there has been
many documented cases of people like yourself introducing parasites and pathogens that
decimate populations. (Turtles anyone??) I will site some at a later date as I have been consuming some beverages that make research hard to do at the moment.
Why would you do such a thing??? God complex perhaps? I know youre a mod and as I am new here, my posts can and should be taken with a grain of salt, but such practices are hardly beneficial, and usually only self gratifying.
What I have found as far as thamnophis goes is a completely different view than most other genus. Should I breed my aspidites and send them to the threatened part of
their range???
Interesting discussion we have unearthed and I look forward to the responses from the learned.
