    North Carolina "Snake Pit"

    Does anyone know if the conclusion was ever release. I can't find anything on it other that the original stories.

    For those that didn't know or need reminding here is a link to one of the articles.

    I know must of us thought they would all die in the winter.

    I seem to remember reading something about most of them dying... which is probably the reason you can't find any news about it.

    I read that all 10 died in Dec/Jan.

    I googled for a good 15 minutes before finding anything about them dying though.

    That was pretty stupid......do those folks not investigate a species? Did they not know the temps in the winter in NC would kill them? Probably. Idiots.....lol, and they did it in the name of "science". What a bunch of tools

    I don't think you understood the point. It was to prove or disprove the allegation that Burmese could migrate north of FL. If it takes a few dying to make sure lawmakers don't make stupid laws, then so bit it.
