The researchers don't have an answer for what's happening to the serpents, but it's been postulated that global warming is to blame. These cold-bloodied reptiles have been around for millions of years, and have survived many changes in climate, but perhaps none so rapid and drastic as what we're currently experiencing.
And of course, less snakes means more rats, and more rats means more disease. Let's not forget how a rat-borne plague once destroyed a large segment of the European population.
