I would also recommend the Herpetology Animal Care Guidelines put out by ASIH (American Society of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists):</div>

In terms of ethics, we all follow local permit guidelines (local to where we collect) and usually institutional IACUC rules (<span class="ILfuVd NA6bn"><span class="hgKElc">Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee</span></span>). These both vary greatly
by state/country and institution, so sometimes the methods change a bit based on where you are doing the collecting and/or the research objectives. This is a good general resource on IACUC:

In regards to why we herpetologists collect, it is for every reason you mentioned and more, so there isn't a short easy answer there.

<div class="x_moz-cite-prefix">I may refer you to the book of the dear colleague John E Simmons:

How do you collect reptiles and amphibians in your institutions?</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: "Calibri", sans-serif;">
Have you got any specific research goal or are you collecting to gather temporal and spatial data for further research questions. Also it would be helpful information how you euthanize them and in what circumstances this is ethical.</p>
