We simply go for the fun of herping. Larry has a keen interest in breeding the Ground snakes this year so he is going to keep a pair and play with those for the season. I myself am going to bring in a pair of the Milks, and that is probably the first wild caught snakes I have collected and personally kept in over 20 years, but these here in Abilene are somewhat of an odd group...not quite annulata and not quite celaenops, so I want to play around with them a little more.
Overall, rarely, if ever do we bring home anything unless it's a two-headed albino that's 400 miles outside of its range, and then it's still questionable.

Ok Aquaherp, understood, I still like collecting, but only the unusual ones, like I found on Osage Copperhead here in WV, when the scientific map of their homerange says they should not be found no further east than KY or something like that? Also been finding in the past few years adult Black Rat snakes with very orange markings (kinda like the orange of an Everglades rat?!) So my family have fun collecting and taking pics and even sometimes have the luck of getting a gravid female that goes ahead and lets us watch her give birth or pass eggs!!!!! (2 Female Copperheads last year!!) So to each his own! Later, PS Yell back at me, did the temps drop out there? last week it was 80 degrees, and now it is below 30 degrees and trying to snow!!!! Man I hate this crap, now I will have to wait 3 more weeks afteer the weather warms up before seeing anything again!!
