Plethodon Cinereus

[joey]

Hey i breed this kind and when they are old enough i let them go and im starting this thread so i get to know other redbacked breeders

I'm pretty sure that's illegal but I could be wrong?Maybe its re-releasing WC animals?But it's not really great to do because you could introduce diseases to native populations.

what do you mean i shouldnt let them go

 

[joey]

i didnt let any go yet i just got my first batch of eggs and one hatched so far so what do i do with them after they hatch should i sell them i thought it would help increase their population in the wild but i guess i was wrong thanksfor telling me that before i let them go.

I've also read of the dangers of exposing non-native diseases to native populations when releasing animals back into the wild. Too bad, as I was keen on releasing most of my H.tokyoensis larvae to the same location where their egg sac was found once they morph. There are a couple articles on this topic at:
