this hole research thing is a big waste of animal life. I do not understand why these scientist would put so much time and effort into this. Their are plenty of books already explaining what can happen tp these cold blood animals that they can spend their time reading about on this hole deal. I'm sorry and I know I am not the only one thinking this but their is noooooooo way exotic snakes can live in a cold climate. I've kept and breed many snakes for many years and also have done many rescues. Threw my years I have picked up snakes with ri and no matter how much you try I'm sorry but the ri will always be their. But then again someone needs to finally see that these snakes can not strive in the colder climates. I hate that those burms lives have to suffer but maybe this will get threw some of these scientist thick skulls. Just my 2 cents.
