They have the whole tidewater Virginia and Delmarva peninsula on that
range. These things might even get loose in DC. They could survive
around the steam tunnels in the Federal Triangle area all winter.

But, I don't know how much cold they can take. Tropical or not.
Knowing they're a snake, probably a lot.


I think this is all new science at this point and we are learning as
we go. I just know there are plenty of snakes north of the Mason Dixon
line and these guys may join them if they can figure out a way to hide
from the cold in the winter. In the summer time they will be right at
home just about anywhere up there and there is plenty for them to eat.
These guys can survive on birds, rabbits and rats but they can also
take down a deer, a calf or a pony.
My Son In Law works for water management in the glades and they find
all sorts of things inside the pythons they kill.


Let me know when he starts finding the little *******s full of golf balls!


You could squeeze them out and re-use them!
