Opinions differ on whether one should keep wild caught animals. Depends on the species IMO. There are no shortage of Black Rat Snakes here and they are known to tame up readily.

Jon Lelito has a peruvian ooth from me and someone else bought one too (I forget who).

The one I had hatched about 35-40, all in the same day - no stagglers. I kept it sealed in a 24 oz delicup with a damp paper towel.
