I think it's acceptable to collect some wild specimens to start a captive breeding program. As long as the harvest population is sturdy enough to withstand it. I think we should be careful with keeping wild caught snakes that are successfully being bred in captivity. On the other hand, if I saw a beautiful yellow rat snake in the wild, I might be tempted to keep it.
