I also do not understand how snakes in a quarantine facility in a remote location could have infected a relatively closed collection.

Because sometimes people forget that quarantining animals does not just mean housing them in a different room or location. It means not allowing the person(s) that work in one facility visit the other or vice versa. It means showering before going into the other facility, wearing gloves and disinfecting oneself thoroughly after touching anything. Quarantine is more about the precautionary measures that people who work with the animals take, than about the distance the animals are kept from each other.
