Everyone reading this forum knows that the Constrictor Risk Assessment map is extremley far fetched. From looking at the map, Northern Texas and Southern Oklahoma are in the green and are optimal conditions for pythons and boas to live and thrive. Many believe that Hurricanes and other natural disasters help contribute to constrictors being found in South Florida and the Everglades. Now my point is that in North Texas and Southern Oklahoma there have been many homes destroyed or damaged by Tornados. If this is so sutable for pythons and boas, than why over the years hasn't there been any constrictors establish themselves(Live and reproduce) in these areas?? Atleast if this was a suitable lacation for these snakes, you would think that a herper would run across a ball python, or boa over the years that had been displaced from a natural disaster!! I have never heard of any such finds!
