Fla is unique in that its no longer native, or native habiat.
There are thousands of introduced plants, insects, frogs, fish, mammals and reptiles. So generalist species can indeed take over.
Where I live, the habitat is mostly natural. Snake populations are adapted for where they are at this time. So phenotypic pressures keep them that way. As in, there is no advantage to be different.
Back to fla. Habitats like canals, catchment ponds, etc etc etc etc, are not the habitats that native species were adapted to. So they do not have an advantage or reason to stay the same. Cheers
