Just found and read this 2 year old article about anacondas being found in the Everglades. Wonder if they are also in the La., Ala., and Miss. swamps, too? Hope not... LINK

It doesn't freeze in south Florida, so no.

Burmese pythons are more prevalent. Gets too cold north of SoFL. Speaking from experience, hitting one in a car is like hitting a pine log at 45.

How are they any worse than gators? I don't think they're super aggressive.

This is why you should never release unwanted pets.

That's about the only way I can see them getting in the delta swamps. Just wonderin if any of yall had heard of em being seen down there. Didn't know the fireants could help control those non-native pythons, though. After all these decades, I finally find out that fire ants are good for SOMETHING.

Like I said before, it can't happen. There have been many studies on this. Tropical snakes don't know how to hibernate. Scientist have even tried to make them hibernate by creating dens for them underground. They still die from cold temperatures.
