     ​Lab studies of 3 different python serpentoviruses show these viruses last 10-12 days at room temperature, 8-10 days at warmer temperatures, but potentially months to years at cold or sub-zero temperatures. While virus can still persist up to 10 days at warmer temperatures, large decreases in the number of infectious virions can be observed within 2 days. ​
