Burmese pythons spreading faster in Florida in the wake of hurricane Ian.

[the other mike]

A female python is capable of laying a hundred eggs a year so think about how fast they could spread if they're not contained....

And the recent flooding from Hurricane Ian is a perfect opportunity for them to spread and migrate father north.


They're adapting to saltwater too.

I can tell you one thing .....they couldn't pay me enough to be involved in the search and rescue effort much less the rebuilding after this thing.
It's not just pythons but all kinds of other snakes including rattlers, cottonmouths and then alligators, floating fire ant mounds.....

---Then, in January, the region was plunged into an extremely unusual cold spell. With temperatures dipping below freezing at night for long stretches, the 10 snakes died---

Will Florida's Burmese pythons move north? How far?

Scientists brought 10 Burmese pythons to South Carolina to test the validity of one study that said the snakes could survive as far north as Washington, D.C.
