I can tell you this and that is Pythons down here are now an endangered species. All my regular hunters that go out now RARELY find one. I believe that a HIGH percentage were killed or died later based on personal communications from consistent hunters. YOU JUST DON'T SEE THEM ANYMORE AS YOU DID PRE-FREEZE....THANKS


Thanks Tom. Sadly if it did not get them all, then they may return. A few years ago West Nile Virus made it to SoCal. Killed all the crows. For two years we saw none. Then we started to see a "few". The nest summer we had normal numbers again. The new population? Resistant to WNV.

Same could happen here. The 1-10% that did survive are more cold tolerant than the rest and another deep freeze only kills a few. Not the result we hoped for.
