Didnt VPI do the same thing in Texas with a bunch of animals in outdoor enclosures?
I can only say this, the people performing this experiment down there were probably hired by a group to confirm or deny a theory. We obviously think its stupid because we KNOW that they will be killed by the cold.
Now, do you think that there are possibly ANY un-educated people down in Florida or across the US that KNOW that these snakes can survive colder temperatures like their native counterparts? All they gotta do is crawl in a hole right? WRONG.....
Wouldn't you find this a VITAL test to prove whether or not S373 or HR669 or HR2811 or any other bill that is brought out due to Florida problem, and a Florida problem ONLY?!? NOT a Federal issue?
Wouldnt you want the people trying to take away your animals to get REAL HARD PROOF that these snakes CANT survive colder temperatures above Florida, and due to the recent cold snap even survive in parts of Florida!?!?
