Examining Soil For eDNA Leads to Locating Eastern Indigo Snakes

I agree. I'm a little concerned that this method may not work though, even for indigo snakes. The experiment was performed in naturalistic enclosures. As we all know, there is a big difference between even the most naturalistic enclosure and nature.

That's what I'm thinking too. Especially in Florida, with all the moisture- countless bodies of water & precipitation? But I'll hope it works...
