No there are VERY FEW Pythons left. I know of dozens of people including myself who are actively looking for Pythons and they just are so few you simply can't find them. I caught one live one about 10 days post freeze but it died not a week later from a respiratory problem. My guess is the few that survied the freeze may have died later from RI issues. The rearchers have said they found a lg. female along with about 5 males breeding on a Hammock near Pay-Ha-Okee in the ENP. By their own admission they have found NO others and neither has anyone else I'm aware of. All the areas I used to routinely find Pythons outside the ENP are now without Pythons or so it appears . It remains to be seen but my guess is their nearly gone or someone somewhere would find one. Even the Green Iguanas have almost vanished except for the Florida Keys populations... ----- Tom Crutchfield www.tomcrutchfield.com
