My memory failed me on the time frame, or it was stated incorrectly (yeah, that's it, lol) But the distance is correct, and they mentioned they were not released at the point of capture, but at their base of operations. They DID indicate that suspected travel was by water. All snakes swim well and I have no doubt that an average to large Burm could do that.
The other fascinating story was about American crocs laying their eggs at the southern end of the Glades, in the salty water of the bay, and that the young couldn't survive in salt water, and had to find fresh. And when there's a drought in the glades, less fresh water trickles down and affects their mortality.
