Hi,
lets say I got like 2 of each reptile (1 male 1 female) and breed Frogs, Turtles, Snakes, Lizards etc, would it be wrong to let them go in the wild?
Like take them to a bush and release or take a turtle to a dam/pond?

| | | | The reptiles/amphibians you breed may be carrying pathogens that don't occur in the local population you are releasing into, and also you may be mixing different genetics from different populations. Each of these things is a risk to the wild communities you are adding your animals to.

| Do you know how to correctly incubate the eggs of reptiles?
Also, why not just stick to one sex eg. all males or all females. |

do youself and the animals a favour and don't do it.
if you want to try and help frogs etc try making a natural environment in your back yard and let them do it on there own if they choose to. | |
