Amen.

I swear it's exactly like they posted a photo of a dead chipmunk and said, "Saved the family!" It's just dumb to anyone who knows anything at all about snakes.

Yup. It’s not like they have to learn a couple dozen snakes. There are only 4 venomous species in La., and if you spend your entire life actively searching for a coral snake you’ll probably still never see one - and they are still the easiest to id, so that brings the number to only 3 in all practicality. And rattlers have a certain feature that gives you a pretty decent hint. My brother and I could positively identify all venomous La. species well before the age of 10. It’s not that difficult.

the folks whose only hobby is herping - fall into this category too..... not only rare but very very reclusive.

Are amphiumas difficult to breed?

I don't know but probably a lot harder than rodents.
