Very cool. I'll mention this to my youngest daughter and we'll both be keeping our eyes open for a new pet.

The pythons don't care what you call them, as long as it's not late for dinner. No joy for the Keys and south Florida. However, the population in that area is well armed, so just tell them the constrictors are on the opposite kind of list from protected species. The hated species list can include fire ants, Norwegian rats, selected S.A. spiders, ane the constrictors.

Yes. My cut-and-paste edited out the map. The map indicates they can spread up the east coast to the Chesapeake Bay, through most of the South, into South Texas, Nex Mexico, Arizona, and up the California coast as far as Oregon.

if the most extreme views of global warming are true, i'd believe those figures, but anywhere it could concievably get around fifty degrees for even a few days? not a chance. go to respiratory infection and start over.
