horned lizards

Where are limits posted for how many you can keep? I was trying to look through the california fish and game commission, but I don't think that is the correct place to be looking. The only thing I found there was about only being allowed to collect and possess 2 with a sport fishing license. http://weblinks.westlaw.com/Search/d...0&SPa=CCR-1000

If they breed, the babies aren't wc, they'd be cb, so why would they be under the same rules of pocession? I'm just wondering.

Thanks

Talking exclusively about horned lizards (or all herps not allowed to commercially breed), it's because CA doesn't issue breeder's permits for them, so you can't breed them "commercially". If they do breed and it puts you over the limit you have to give them away. This is true for all the native reptiles of CA. The only exceptions are when you have a native reptile breeder permit, and that only allows Ca kings, Rosies, and Gopher snakes. With the permit you can breed them and sell the captive bred offspring, but you still can't sell the WC ones.
