While I cannot comment on SC weather, in VA we will usually get a cold snap in the winter where the night lows are in the teens and the daytime highs around 30 for about a week. Otherwise our winters are relatively mild (daytime 40s-50s, nighttime 30-ish) with only some winters having any real snow accumulation. My son just turned 5 and this was the first winter we've had enough snow for him to go sleigh riding.

I agree the sample is small, and if the winter is... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (GTPfan) http://moreliaviridis.yuku.com/sreply/108117 Tue, 30 Jun 2009 20:21:32 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: MSN Article - S.Carolina Burmese experiment ]]> http://moreliaviridis.yuku.com/reply/108106/t/MSN-Article-S-Carolina-Burmese-experiment.html#reply-108106
Growing up in Minnesota... having school canceled because it is too cold for the school busses to start.. now thats brutal.

I think the sample size is too small as well and it sounds like, because there are hibernation caves and whatnot, that they're going to have a few live snakes at the end.. ]]> feeds@yuku.com (laurenL17) http://moreliaviridis.yuku.com/sreply/108106 Tue, 30 Jun 2009 19:42:42 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: MSN Article - S.Carolina Burmese experiment ]]> http://moreliaviridis.yuku.com/reply/108097/t/MSN-Article-S-Carolina-Burmese-experiment.html#reply-108097 Kim Burge wrote:

I guess brutal is a matter of opinion but being from SC/NC, I think our winters are COLD with enough long term hard freezes to be fatal to this species over time.

I hope this experiment gives better data on what these animals can really survive in with regards to our temperate climate.

While it appears Whit may be well respected among the herp and scientific community, I found his comments to be very unprofessional.

I'd love to hear from anyone who has more info on this study. At least someone is taking the initiative to gather real data instead of just speculating.

By the way, is it just me or would anyone else like to slap this Gibbons guy? He's listed as a herp professor, but his comments are more alarmist than scientific.
