Anyone have any idea what the northern limit for these pythons might be in the US? North Carolina, maybe? Or could they adapt and just go dormant in the winter like northern snakes do?

Scientists brought 10 Burmese pythons to South Carolina to test the validity of one study that said the snakes could survive as far north as Washington, D.C.

Thanks, Corrie. Very interesting information. And since we're entering a grand solar minimum, there's a good chance they could be wiped out before it gets too far out of hand.

Tarpon Springs is 9B BTW......not 9A

You're talking local weather.....local weather is not global warming
This is global warming..... 8/10 of a degree

What a loon. I can't care less jess if Tarpon is 2A ray. I have lived here longer and Know my local weather better than anyone. It was never normal for coconuts to grow more north than south St Pete. The planet is seeing a rapid warm up pup. Some areas are warming more than others.

My normal summertime pattern changed in the mid 80's where we are stuck in a reverse west windflow almost all summer. No such thing as global warming anyways my man. Just a normal 1500 year warming we are seeing. I don't see the snakes living much past Tampa jake.

You keep saying "grow"...and then say people are planting them. Just because someone plants something, does not mean it will grow there forever...you know that.
Coconuts are cheap...the field nurseries will sell them for $200...delivered and planted
People are planting them because they are cheap, look tropical...and if they die in a few years, just buy another one...

It may not be "normal" but people are buying and planting them because they want to...

"The planet is seeing a rapid warm up pup"

No it's not....if anything the rate of global temperatures for "the planet" have cooled down
..From 1880 to 2014 the trend was 1.17F per century
From 1998 to 2017 the trend was 1.04F per century

...any way you want to figure it...it's been around 1 degree Fahrenheit per century since 1880 and has not changed...actually .8

Global temperatures are not based on what happens in Tampa...that's local weather...and is dependent on El Ninos/La Ninas, etc

Most of the heat records have been broken since 1990. My local temp has come up 4.23 degree since the late 70's. But me moving from Tampa by the airport to a much warmer area on the gulf in Pasco county has thrown the figures higher. I have much warmer lows where i live now vs when i lived on Tampa bay.

Not true...

There are 50 states.....44 all time heat records are before 1990

...only 6 heat records have been broken since 1990

8 cold records have been broken since 1990

Using your logic...it's getting colder

It is the amount of heat records pete. You got some screwed up figures. You don't understand weather like i do. I live it eat it and sleep it like a creep. The planet is seeing a rapid warm up and that is just the sad facts ya gotta live with. Sea level rise will be up to 12ft in some areas within 70 years dear. The amount of warm up will be unreal over time as more dark surface area allows the sun to warm it up even more. As more ice melts more dark surface area will heat up and then my so called snowball effect takes over.

I know this stuff duff better than anyone.

And we all thought that the Mayan Premonition of the End of The World was here, but it was ACTUALLY the End of the Hot Era instead. ..From all that I know we are at the Footsteps of a Mini Polar Age on Earth, and the Mayans will be CORRECT again.

The Sahara Desert, since they have records of man recorded Temps, in the past 10-15 yrs have recorded the coolest Temps ever seen/felt there even in the day time.

Mother Earth is at it again, and it ALWAYS fixes itself, no matter how much Humans can screw it up.

To Hell with the Pythons, Iguanas and Monitors, they will be frozen like a lollipop soon.
