Thankfully it gets just cold enough to prevent them surviving the winter.
Conversely, I'm surprised only the Burmese Pythons are thriving in FL. Why not Ball Pythons, Boas, etc.?

I think they have some rock pythons around but could be remembering wrong. The Burmese probably have just the right tolerances to make it through the cooler times down there.
I don't see them getting rid of them all. One avenue would be trying to figure out how to make breeders spit out sterile offspring as one line of defense. Like they do with the other genetic morphs. Not sure if that's possible tho.

The problem started when pet owners who bit off more than they could chew released the burmese pythons into the wild because they got so big. A 6-foot, 20 lb. ball python in your house isn't a problem. A 20-foot, 400 lb. is a different matter.
