I remember relatives used to say Florida has a history of tropical invasive species until a hard freeze comes along and devastates the populations.

Snakes (even tropical ones) can handle freezes, unlike most invasive tropicals. The upswing in populated areas means more heat sources, so they’ll find places to hole up until the cold snap passes. Florida is going to have a python problem for a looooong time.
