Time spent resting, active, and transiting during day and night for each Burmese python (Python bivittatus) tagged with an acceleration data logger (ADL) during field trials in Everglades National Park, South Florida, USA. Recapture distance is the displacement distance between the snake’s initial release location and its recapture location at the end of the monitoring period
