About how cold it has been here the last week and a half. I posted a good post on the burm forum on the temps in the area. I live 40 miles north of Orlando and Kissimme is about 15 miles South of Orlando (basically the southern part OF Orlando.) You should check out that post as well as some of tom Crutchfield's on the subject of temps here last week. Quite honestly having worked with Anacondas in the past They could withstand the average winter weather we have on the South end of the Orlando area (Yellows would fare much better but greens could handle MOST of the average weather.) That said is about the AVERAGE winter weather every year we have a few severe cold fronts (for this region) that knock the temps down cold enough to whack green anacondas if it didn't get that cold we'd probably have quite a few adult iguanas running around the Orlando area which we really don't have. The last 2 years though we have had some colder than average cold fronts come in that lasted longer than normal as well which is a factor in killing of things that exist here marginally (I am a landscaper by trade and considering the presence of tropical and sub-tropical flora in local landscapes I have a pretty good working knowledge of what cold fronts do here.) The 2 (3? 4? I lost track) cold fronts that came through here last week were just over the top for this region. There is no way that snake could have survived outside here.
