I agree this program is not designed as a restocki9ng program so it has
non of the constraints a restocking program should have....Most likley
most of the young will be sent out to the pet trade via the NFC or
destroyed depending on GFFC rulings......The most important thing is
people want to know can it be done with the species and a life history
will be published because of it....Then at a future date if needed the
info is there for a more serious project if needed.
