Unlike the fire ants, the cold ( below 60 degrees for extended periods [ winters ]) freezing weather for more than 1 week is a death sentence for all tropical and subtropical species. That is one of the whys that would kill them

Burmese pythons. the question is find out how high up on the mountains in Burma the snakes will go. that directly correlates to their temperature preferences. we might be safe high up on the mountains in Georgia in the winter time.

Why are pythons being allowed to spread if they are a non-native invasive species? Someone needs to be made accountable.

Burmese pythons make great pets. BUT they do get big after a few years. After they get about 10 feet long, you can tell that the pet situation morphs into a dangerous one. While regular feedings keep them fairly docile, trusting a large snake is a absolute no-no.
They strike at anything and will swallow anything it can subdue. Plus, their strenghth is quite alarming.

We are going to have to rely on all of the South Florida python hunters to keep the species at bay.

How well will they adapt to sheltering in cooler weather? In storm sewers, gopher tortoise burrows, crawlspaces? The snakes in central Florida do very well. We don't see so many during the cooler months, but they are still here.

I am thinking that as long as they have a place to go underground in the winter, they can go as far north as they can slither. My intuition tells me that anywhere alligators live year-round, so will they. Hypothetically, the same could be said of any larger North American snake species, such as the Eastern Diamondback, Western Diamondback and the Timber Rattlesnake. That means their range could end up being quite widespread eventually. They may struggle to ever cross the desert in Northern Mexico, after they go as far west in Texas as the rivers can carry them. The real question is, can they find enough to eat to stay hydrated and adapt to the cold desert nights to ever cross west Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and get to California. It sounds like a tall order, but in time, as they become accustomed to the climate, it seems possible.

Around 35 years ago, I saw a python in the wild in central Alabama. It was the largest snake I have ever seen irl. I'm not saying they migrated up though. It could have been a pet that got too large and was let go or it escaped.

The cold snaps are also why we don’t have very many Chinese windmill palms in Tennessee. Dwarf palmettos are native as far north as parts of the Tennessee and Virginia borders, but they’re a native species. Chinese windmill palms struggle to deal with the Zone 7 winters that dominate most of both states (except Virginia Beach and Chattanooga) as much as even the Deep South’s needle palm and Brazoria palmetto, and Chinese windmill palms are only about as cold-hardy as the cabbage palmetto.

I realize this video is dated and a good while ago; however: This the deep cold snaps in Florida this winter of 2025, I wonder how many invasive species are dying off. These snakes in particular are tropical and as such cannot handle freezing cold. And the further north they migrate the colder it is. Therefore, are they dying off this winter?

This video was 2 years ago, so needs to be updated for the Winter of 2025. Like with the myth of alligator or crocs in sewers, it is suggested that these snakes became hard to manage so they were deposed of to the swamps and bayous of the south. To acquire these animals was unwise/stupid in the first place.

Ooh yeah, just blame the python. Cause they all decided to jump on a plane to visit Florida and decided it was so nice to stay. Once again, this is Man's fault. They brought them here just like all the other reptiles and/or living breathing creatures they had to just bring to the states cause they thought they were beautiful or unique. We can't just leave beautiful creatures lay where they are meant to be. Figure out a better way. Why should a python be killed cause Man once again screwed up.

Shame on ALL of you for making out that it's the species fault for a few furry pets being eaten. YOU did this to yourselves !
