An email arrived today posing that question and linking to some news from the USGS about forecast changes in climate conditions and the implications for habit suitability for Burmese Pythons! Apparently, some of these snakes - make that BIG snakes - are in the Florida Everglades.
If you're really interested, check out the press release from USGS.

Here in New York, I've heard speculation that the tick activity (and possibly population) will go up if there aren't as many hard cold spells in the winter. That could mean more Lyme Disease exposure. I don't know if there are stats to support that, though.
