I'll take it. An honest, fair description of what is now happening in the Everglades. It's good the see and hear.

Wow I am shocked and amazed they actually reported that. Interesting they can't find any but only assume 40-50%...lol. Well like JH said....I will take it!!

Especially considering they started out saying there were 100k+ of them down there last year...

I have written MANY letters to CNN explaining all the false propaganda being spread about the snake ban and how the USGS report is absolute bull poopy. I am glad they did this story but wish they would have blown the lid off this joke of a report they are using to push the ban. If they cant survive a cold snap in South FL they would never survive any winter in Orlando or Tampa let alone the rest of the country!

The 100,000 number is a load of garbage too. Thats just a figure someone pulled out of the sky to scare the public. Looks like Mother nature is on our side

It's sad the snakes died, but hopefully this will help our case a little bit! *crosses fingers*

BG agrees...this video is one of the reason BG made the another thread. If people are looking for them everywhere, they would find snake skeletons everywhere. The bones would not be eaten by predators. Not the ones on land anyway. That 100,000 number is a load of Burmese Python crap.

Thanks for posting this Heather! It's nice to see good reporting for a change.

While I hate to see any animal die to prove our point, I must say I'm glad we had that cold weather down here in Florida this year.

It should be interesting to see how Senator Nelson and others try to turn this around to their benefit. Especially when you see that so many of their radio transmitter tagged females died.
