My radar is also out. I am totally biased, as most of us here are, that I would like the findings to show that the majority of Burmese pythons did not survive the winter here. My suspicion is that the “rapid” conclusions are being written before the pythons affected by the cold have all died. They could easily show that some survived the very coldest night and submit their immediate findings. One month later, every one of those pythons could very well be, and most likely will be, dead. I would like to know who has access to the tracking frequencies on those pythons and who are witnesses to the field work. There is tremendous bias and political heat being brought down on these results with millions and millions of dollars at stake. There is more than the usual incentive to fudge the results to suit the cause.
