I do.
Are you really that silly?
There are MANY animals in the reptile trade that are collected from the wild. This does not mean poached, this means collected by an authorized collector with proper permits and CITES papers. Ahtuella prasina are just one of hundreds if not thousands of species of snakes, geckos and other reptiles that are wild caught. The rest are captive bred or farmed.
What i meant was, that although A. prasina are offered very often in the trade, they are very difficult to get feeding on frozen rodents which is the staple diet of most captive snakes.
Before you go shouting off, do some simple basic research. You should know that Prasina are spread throughout many countries, and no reptiles are caught in singapore for the trade, as the government does not allow this due to small numbers and endemic species.

Ok Ok...
Relax... I didn't mean that you were catching them, but in many forums I have read
about people, maybe just 10 yrs old wanting to catch and kep these snakes for
themselves. So I just thought maybe you were also interested in such a way. So I
just said what I usually tell the others. Thats it! We don't have to make a war in
these forums!

"a lot of people have an inborn fear, dislike or even hatred for snakes. The talk that I attended on conservation by the NPark Outreach Officer confirmed this.
The lady was recounting her experiences of seeing dead snakes at the Bukit Timah Nature Reserves while she was working there. It was only later while talking to visitors that she realised that there were visitors hiking up the hill with sticks in hands not as walking aids but rather, as weapons to kill ANY snakes in sight, regardless of whether the snake was a threat or just passing by"
Man, such cruel people, to kill snakes that did nothing to them.
I would not have been as surprised if this was in a park or garden, but a Nature
Reserve. They are simply destroying wildlife... If they are scared of snakes then why
can't they just leave them alone and don't visit the nature reserves??? I hate such
people...

there are much more collected for food...wild caughts are still the minority in this hobby
A.prasina can be found in as north as Zhejiang province..it only cost something less than SGD 10 in guangzhou, and of course there are plenty lizard and gekko supply throughout the year(so i can keep my paradise)
Very true Mr. Tree.
Just found out from one of my contacts that most of the prasina imported come from Malaysia and similar surrounding places.
