Billie,
Are you sure about the permit needed to photograph them- Rick

From what I have been told, the small area in San Francisco hills where they are found, it now a federally protected site. I believe you have to get permission from F&G to go on habitat.. but not positive.. I would like to research this a bit.. and dream of going "photoherping"

They should be allowed to be kept and bred in captivity, and have individuals released back into the wild, then they wouldn't be rare or endangered, or even an issue!!! Argh!

WHERE, where would you release them?? The tiny area where they are surviving is one of the MOST populated area in California. There is no real future for them. Even if CA set a controlled area for them, they will eventually run out of room.
