I breed many species of pituophis but because I live in Texas I cannot legally work with ruthveni. <br /><br />Given the small clutch size of this snake it would make sense to me to enlist the help of private hobbyists via a permitting program to increase the number of hatchlings released each year.<br /><br />Sadly, I fear that until we can get our own population growth under control we will continue to destroy habitat that adversely affects the survival of this snake and many many other species. (my little rant)<br /><br />Thanks for the info and I look forward to hearing more about this program.<br /><br />Arik Beal Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
