The corn snakes that I am working with were legally collected on private property with the consent of the land owners. The land owners are going to allow me to release resulting offspring from the quarintened adults into the exact locality where the parent snakes were found, and will not harm them.
Some of the other offspring that I produce will be going to two zoo's in the state of Ky as donations, and a few others will be given free of charge to some others that have a great interest in this locality. Some of whom frequent this forum. I have no commercial interest in these snakes, only a deep appreciation.
I am on the board of directors of the Kentuckiana Herpetological society, and actively participate in educational programs concerning herps. Although my herping companion does posess a Ky collecting permit (which I think deals mainly with collecting in certain parks or areas), none was needed for this project. I have no problem posting under my name, as I have nothing to hide.
I am proud of our efforts to bring this locality to herpetoculture, and at the same time help to preserve it in the wild.
I can appeciate that you admit that you made a mistake, but I have done my homework on the legal aspects of this and I have every intention of observing any laws in my state of Ky.
I have no need to collect further specimens, and in fact I'm releasing at least one of my adult females in the same barn she was found in soon.
Just wanted to clear the air on my interest in this matter.
