If the researchers would just come out and report the TRUTH there would be NO speculation. I believe the results are deliberately being withheld until the injurious decree by USFWS can be made law. This decree is entirely based on Rodda's map and his later "peer reviewed paper". This minor amount of cold by U.S. standards proves beyond a doubt both the map and paper should be used as toilet paper because that's the real value of both. The snakes are having trouble hanging on even here much less in the southern third of the U.S. I have made several request for them to release just the stats on the snakes that were being monitored and so far mums the word...
