Snake Fungus in the US

[Selkielass]

Just heard from Jeff Lorch at the university of Wisconsin, Madison about collecting samples of infected snakes for testing.

Ill ask permission to share his correspondence here.
They are definitely looking for samples of possibly infected snakes to confirm infection, and to add to their map.

Does your contact have a scientific collection permit? I'll keep an eye out but I'd have to be on someone's permit to collect most of the species I come across (meaning I'll grab it, but I'm not going to mail it unless I'm legal).
