Pythons would not but you do have indigenous Boas, such as the Rosy Boa.

The brutal facts are that *none* of the so-called ‘invasive pythons” can survive outside the relatively small area of the Everglades.

The recent cold winters have drastically reduced their populations because the snakes -absolutely require- very hot, constant temperatures to survive.

We’re talking 80s-90s, year round.

A lengthy drop below even 70 degrees is lethal to them.

They are *never* going to spread beyond the subtropical area where they are currently found.

Their normal habitats have 100+ degree days and 80+ degree nights.

*All* of this is just political BS being pushed by the usual liberal, control freak suspects; peta, HSUS and moron politicians eager to assuage the fears of their cowardly, brain-washed and superstitious constituents.

*Only* snakes which -hibernate- can deal with the climates commonly found in the US.

No Pythonidae or Boidae hibernate.

Ever.

The weather where I am is a bit extreme. Last week I had a day at 85 and it hit 29 that night. All at 10-15 percent humidity.

Take care my FRiend.
