This is incorrect, and publicly touting misinformation will NOT help the cause. Plenty of pythons have been found since March. This information isn’t difficult to find by searching databases and forums dedicated to field herping… Repeatedly spewing this kind of garbage only serves to hurt the hobby further. How disappointing…

Also incorrect, as is stated in the paper. Only 4/9 Python molurus bivittatus died directly from the cold... Inferrences can be made about some of the others, but they are just that... Inferrences.
