sorry for some reason quote didn't print...
"During the cold spell, 3 of the 9 pythons were found dead. Two others developed infections and were euthanized after consultation with and at the recommendation of our attending veterinarian. Two snakes exhibited clinical signs (wheezing, nasal discharge) of respiratory distress, most likely fatal had we not intervened (E. R. Jacobson, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL, personal comment). In keeping with our responsibility under animal care and use guidelines, we moved these snakes indoors to recover. The final two pythons (both males, 3.4 and 9.0 kg, respectively) showed no ill effects and remained outdoors. Thus, including the 2 snakes with overt respiratory problems, we ascribe mortality from cold weather effects to 7 of the 9 pythons."
