That is both good news and bad news. I hate to hear when any of these animals die as a result of something that we may have caused, in this case it was exposure to the elements that these animals are not readilly used to. It would be worthwhile to know if the deaths were actually the result of the direct exposure or secondary issues. Will we have to wait for official results of the published paper or did Dr. Mazzotti elaborate on the causes of death to the 9 and the current health of the remaining animal? How many actually died during the cold snap in the frigid temperatures and how many died afterwards as a result of secondary aiments? Has the animal that survived been cleared with a clean bill of health or is it being treated for secondary ailment itself? Not only is this information important for the sake of argument to the point of exposures in our climate, I think that it is in the best interest of the entire herp community to know these results for the future pending outcome of proposed legislation.
