I wouldn't go so far as to call it positive. It's neutral. But that's progress.
I'm curious how Mazotti went out after the cold spell and found 99 Burmese pythons fast enough to know that a bunch of them were dead. Dead Burms, like all, dead animals, get scavenged pretty quickly buy opportunistic feeders. People are going out for days on end and not turning up a single Burm but he found 99 in a very narrow window. Seriously? Dude is magic.
If he can kick up 99 Burms in a few days of hunting I want to go snake hunting with him ...ANYWHERE. Black kingsnake hunting in extreme Western Virginia will be our first stop. After that we'll pop on over to Southern Texas and clean up on the alterna hot spots. This guy has the golden snake collector touch so I'm looking forward to hanging out.
