i dont think it would be wise to sell them. sure go catch them but release them. maybe keep one for your self but do not sell them. probably against the law as well

one way is prepping a site, pick a decent site (with water and cover) and set out some sheets of tin/plywood. At the site look for ants, usually ants mean no snakes, but lizards and rodents are always a good sign

I dont meen to sell them i think its kinda dumb but i want to catch them to keep for myself and for a liltle while then put them in outdoor terruims where they can live in natural habitats yet still get there food and stuuf more easily but only if they are young or old or sick would i keep them.

Keep in mind in a lot of places it is illegal to house native animals.
