Some suggest that ''P. bivittatus'' and ''P. sebae'' have the potential to be problematic invasive species in South [[Florida]].<ref name="SD">{{Cite news |title=Python Snakes, An Invasive Species In Florida, Could Spread To One Third Of US |date=2008 |work=ScienceDaily |access-date=2017-08-01 |url=https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/02/080223111456.htm}}</ref> In early 2016, after a culling operation yielded 106 pythons, [[Everglades National Park]] officials suggested that "thousands" may live within the park, and that the species has been breeding there for some years. More recent data suggest that these pythons would not withstand winter climates north of Florida, contradicting previous research suggesting a more significant geographic potential range.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Avery |first1=M.
