Well if someone was to read your first post you state "its what us tarantula keepers would do".You basicly admited that your group has done this when its needed.

Well has done and still does. Two totally different things. Just know Snake man that people tend to get a little feisty here when people openly admit to doing things that would hurt or hinder our hobby. Sneaking outlawed animals in to another country or state or city for that fact is one of the big things that promotes law makers to ban our hobby al together. If you have not personally participated in this then great!!

It is our goal to have Herps be as main stream as cats or dogs. This goal is under constant attack sadly because of the phobia and stigma surrounding snakes and reptiles. Illegal actions get law makers a legitimate reason to limit our hobby and passion. And further strengthen the stigma that snakes and reptiles are not pets.

It is my request that if you (Snake man) share and enjoy our hobby then help us with this battle by deterring those who would harm it by turning them in to the authorities or (if they are friends or family) continue to impress on them the harm of their actions

i meant that if i were visiting my family in mexico and i happen to come across a brachy species of tarantula, then MAYBE i would bring it back home with me.if it was a mature male wandering for a female,then i WOULDNT take it back home.only if it was more of a juvenile and maybe adult females.since wild brachys' populations are being lowered in the wild,i'd do what i can to breed brachys and bring their populations back up.
