Both mating balls were found when conservancy staff put implants in male “scout snakes,” set them free, and followed the signals to remote areas where people seldom tread.

You definitely don't kill the males that have the tracking device. You let them go and find you another female.

This is not some new “discovery” in wildlife biology or management. A “Judas” (not a “scout”) has been used for attempts at controlling all sorts of unwanted pests, from goats to pigs.

And you definitely leave the Judas out there to go on to find the next group.
