congrats on finding your snake after having been missing for so long. As for the BP scenario, I would agree that many factors are involved, so there is no clear cut answer. But it does make me think that these animals can be very resiliant (spelling?) and if in top condition before they get "lost" or "abandoned" have an advantage of surviving a hardship period.
