Yeah, we moved some rubers about a Km from where they were found and tracked them. Those are the ones that wandered for months and got skinny, but then finally settled down. I think the ones people have studied that die, do so because they cannot find some place to overwinter. In SD, rubers and other snakes can often be found on or near the surface in the middle of winter - it just doesn't get cold enough here to kill them.
