  6. If they do manage to spread west they’ll likely live either in lush riparian and montane environments or both!

  7. Pythons actually can survive in relatively dry humidity and hot temps combined. During the dry season in their native range the humidity levels, low rainfall, and temperatures makes it feel like hot desert weather during the summer. If anything it’s temperature that makes a big difference like in the video. Another big factor is accessibility to nearby bodies of water/ riparian environments for western range expansion. The Indian python’s westernmost range is in Pakistan’s arid southeast bordering India, specifically its westernmost arid range hugs along the Indus River all the way to the coast. However West Texas and New Mexico is too mountainous and cold for them to survive even with the nearby Rio Grande.
