The University of Florida is the number one source when it comes to reptile related issues. From diseases such as IBD to those in the Everglades.

They did a true scientific study with the main purpose being the effects of the recent cold spell. Tracking habits and movement over a long period of time was not the purpose. If they are determining the cause of death in the snakes obviously they are gathering them up.

I can assure you every snake they released is back in their possession, dead or alive. A true scientific study can only be done the way they did it, not the way the USGS did for their joke of a paper.
