Having lived in Florida, as well, I can tell you that the taste squirrels take on is very different, in the different habitats. They may be living in "pine" trees in both places, but they're very different species, and very different habitats.
You are what you eat, and out west.... I'd rather eat used toilet paper, than squirrels from most pine habitats.
