Default Interesting Research on Increasing Pumilio Population Densities
Here is a link to the Herp Nation Magazine site and an interview with a pumilio researcher who used artificial egg deposition sites to increase the density of pumilio populations. Now, if someone wanted to start a true "farming" operation, this would be a great way to reduce the impact of collecting.

Now where the heck do you find 1/2" diameter straws?

I would think something like 1/2" vinyl tubing would be another cheap, easy option as well?

Gerbera straws are probably the least expensive option. Anyone want to try them out? We've got a few thousand lying around.

Cool. I didn't know that. Great research JP. I hope local conservation groups are willing to deploy the straws where habitat is still good, especially for endangered morphs.
