I believe he was pointing out that snakes are sometimes found in places other than their native ranges. One of them might have been an escape or a release, so you can't completely rule out two snakes from different ranges.

I don't know enough to have an opinion on whether that might be the case here.

What goes up must come down...unless it exceeds escape velocity.
