I have a few questions, hopefully someone here can answer them. Where are the areas that he is talking about in northern India and Pakistan? Is he going by actual data from the exact location? Much of that area appears to be rugged terrain...is it possible the environment is like Hawaii? (for example: is he looking at maps that show general range, and doesn't exclude small areas of diverse environments? It's very possible in mountainous areas that a city be high in elevation and have very cool temps, compared to the very low valley half a mile away where the burmeses live! Is this the case, or are these snakes actually surviving in areas where they do experience the drastic seasonal changes we experience in America?
