Sir, I already told you I wasn’t a math scientist!

Neither am I, bad math is a side gig. Biology is more my interest.
Like how did they not already have this same reptile issue with Floridian snakes crawling into electrical infrastructure?

Floridian snakes generally don’t climb.

Rough Green snakes ~3 ft, Red corn flakes snakes ~4ft, and Eastern Ratsnakes ~6ft, are all known as good climbers.

I dunno man. Not doubting you but I always see them on the ground. We have black rat snakes, cute little ring necks, moccasins and cotton mouths around here and all of them are always on the ground. I did see what looked like a rough green on top of a hedge once! That was cool. And I’ve only come across one rattler but he was really pissed about it.

They're often nocturnal, hunting birds or eggs from nests, and I'd guess sleeping in the trees, they don't stand out like a sore thumb.
A quick google search and apparently the Jacksonville area has had recurring snake power outages in 2014-2017 for similar reasons.
