Herping is easy to do badly
Flipping cover, handling snakes, or shining animals for a guaranteed photo is not a listing AnimalDex wants. The Guide Seller Terms forbid baiting, luring, calling in, cornering, and handling wild animals.
What a good night walk looks like
Public trails, small groups, lights used to look, no collection, no disturbance of dens or protected habitat. Sightings optional. Identification talk required.
Same marketplace, same cash rule
Apply after the wild-collection gates. Price in real money. Collect cash on the day. AnimalDex records seller net when you complete.
