Here is the complete email correspondence. Thanks Brent
Brent,
Visitors and staff at Everglades NP have observed numerous live and dead pythons following the cold snap. The consequences to the population are not yet clear, but researchers at the University of Florida and Everglades NP are compiling the existing data to prepare a summary. I expect there will be press coverage of that summary when it is released. Although the short-term consequences to the population are undoubtedly negative to the pythons (many dead pythons that would not otherwise be dead!), the long-term consequences are unknown at this time.
Cheers, Gordon

Do you have information regarding the survival statistics of Burmese pythons in Florida during last months cold spell in Florida?
Thanks
