and expand northward a bit into the southern parts of neighboring states?

(or has this already happened?)

I think the climate will limit how far north they will be able to go.

Theoretically.....sure, over many generations they can evolve just like everything else.

Not in our lifetime though.

Let them come to La. all you would have to do is suggest they are good to eat and put a season on them. Cajuns will be making gumbo and all sorts of stuff out of them and hunt them out of existence.

How much is the fine for hunting pythons without a license? Do we tag before they go in the ice chest. Don't think I'll be camping where the python hunting is good.

Gators haven't moved north yet so I'd say doubtful.

It looks like they won't need to evolve , just expand.....

It still amazes me fricking losers are allowed to own these things as pets! They fricking ruin the everglades, yet you can still buy these at every pet store.

Cajuns will be making gumbo


The article said that they are extremely high in mercury content.
