Pythons that hatch in Africa
While it’s true that a greater proportion of African hatched pythons have the liver disease than American hatched pythons, we don’t know why. It could be that pythons born in both places are equally susceptible to the disease, but that African pythons have greater exposure to other hosts and so are infected at higher rates.

Any python that has not
This depends on when the python contracted the disease. If a python contracted the disease at the age of two months, a python could live past six months and still have the disease.
