Normally any invasive species is not protected. I'm not sure why they are being anal about anyone collecting non-native snakes or lizards!! Maybe because some of the officiers can't tell one species from another, although most are pretty on the ball.
Shakes head. I'd collect ANY non-native snake I came across, and if I couldn't find a responsible home, I'd either keep it or euthanize it. I'm darned sure not going to leave it loose.
Thanks for the link.
