Been trying to tell you people that cottonmouths aren’t aggressive, and very few even strike when I’m trying to catch them.
The python problem is highly overrated - I searched the Everglades for 2 days and 2 nights and couldn’t find one damn python.

Some years ago I read an article about pythons in Florida.Article said there were some Rock Pythons there also which were more tolerant of cold than Burmese Pythons.The concern was that if they started interbreeding they could spread over the entire southern coast.
Haven’t read anymore about that so it apparenty hasn’t happened.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they actually evolve to tolerate cold.I lived in Bul Shoals Arkansas 1983-85,there were no armadillos north of Little Rock.20 years later and Bull Shoals has lots of them and they are in southern Missouri now.

Armadillos are now in the mountains of Western North Carolina and East Tennessee, too. Saw two dead ones on I-40 just east of Knoxville last summer. Those things devastate turkey nests and eggs. As for the pythons, I really don't see anything stopping them from migrating further north into lower Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas. Sure, it's a little colder there than S. Florida, but there is a world of suitable habitat for them in those wetlands and swamps. Not perfect habitat, but at the least, borderline habitat. And the fact remains, we really do not know how adaptable these pythons may evolve into being? Just my opinion.
