Something I haven't seen mentioned here is the effect extended periods of cold weather and low humidity have on the respiratory systems of the tropically dwelling boids. I bet the vast majority - if not all - develop severe lung infections. That being said I'm sure a large percentage succumb to the illness and that fact more than anything will keep the population of large boids to a small number. Andrew
