I'm still left wondering how much experience people on either side of the discussion have with keeping WC snakes? I used to be a nominee on a take permit, so i have a little first hand experience and i also have some good friends who have/had take permits. So i also have their experience and in one of those cases the snakes worked with included these drop bears. WC snakes, adult animals, don't do well in captivity as a general rule. You get some that are the exception but as a general rule it doesn't matter how good the set up is they usually don't ever thrive.
