The Burmese Python is a large snake native to Southeast Asia, particularly found in countries like Myanmar and Thailand. These snakes can grow up to 23 feet long and weigh over 200 pounds, making them one of the largest snake species in the world. They have a distinctive pattern of brown and yellow scales, which helps them blend into their natural habitat of forests and swamps.
Burmese Pythons are non-venomous constrictors, meaning they kill their prey by wrapping around it and squeezing tightly. They primarily feed on small mammals and birds. Due to their size and strength, they are popular in the exotic pet trade, but they require special care and large enclosures to thrive.
