John, you are correct about cars BUT the entire Evergaldes Wilderness Area has only a few roads giving access so roadkill is NOT a significant threat to their survival. In many ways the Everglades is the LEAST accessable National Park because of a paucity of roads and the inability to hike in it because the majority of it is partially flooded always and in the rainy season all of it is flooded. To walk one mile under conditions in the Everglades would be like a 5 mile hike anywhere else. The terrain is nigh impossible to move around in. That is but one reason these snakes will NEVER be eradicated. I, and other experts know that these conditions in both habitat and climate only occur here in Florida from the southern shore of Lake Okeechobee south and they will never be able to survive anywhere else in the U.S. They are NOT a national problem but a local problem already addressed and regulated by the Florida Wildlife Commission and there is NO need for further regulation.....
