The statistics we get from radio telemetry/mark recapture studies are useful, and large statistics are more important than individual behavior. You yourself have argued about "snake personalities", so I will ask you what would be a better tool for management--higher quality observations on fewer individuals or lower quality observations on more individuals? Be careful how you answer it, you cant have it both ways.
But you're attaching something unnatural to the snakes' body and assuming it's behaviors are going to be "normal" or represent unaltered individuals' behavior(s).
