Brief Summary:
Up to fifty percent of Florida's pythons have been killed due to the harsh cold of this past winter, according to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. Not one python has been caught since the state has allowed hunters to attempt this on state managed lands around the Everglades.

Short Response:
This cold winter could lead to take care of what hunters could not, which would be an unfortunate outcome for these pythons because it could eventually be a sign of leading to their extinction, at least in that state, if they cannot survive the winter of Florida.
