Release? What the?

[SCReptiles]

Down here in the Dirty South, we do not release anything but gas.

[Oliverian]

Yea I often release most of what I find as well. I think its most fun just to catch them and see all the different species. :p I'll only keep a really oustanding reptile, or one that i've been specifically looking for. Keeping's fine too, but if all of us went herping and kept everything we caught, that probably wouldn't be too good for the wild populations. (Also Chuck, LOL!)

[SCReptiles]

Most of what we don’t want to keep, goes to feed cobras. They have to eat too ya know. =)
