Here's a question for you Florida guys. Do you think, with the temperatures that you had in the last week or so, that the wild B. vagans population was affected?

Thank You, I don't know how cold it got or long it stayed that cold. I also don't know how deep their burrows are. It just popped into my head, so I thought I would ask.:)

My sister lives in Tampa, it got down in the low 20's at one point. And they got a couple inches of snow, also.

Now sure how long it was for though

Tampa is further North than where the vagans are; they have been there at least 7 years (some people say they have been there much longer, so I can only go by what I know as fact), and we have had some cold winters in the past.

I have no reason to believe they wouldn't be ok. I'll let you know when I go back once it warms up a bit.
