I'm wondering how they decided on this release location and that it will sustain the new population of pine snakes ? I assume that this area had a known population in the past ?
So what happened to that original population ? Since it's in a National Forest it couldn't have been development, new highways, and please no b/s about over collection for the pet trade.
Was it just poor land management by the forestry department ; fire suppression , etc ?
