Burmese python

The Burmese Python is a large, non-venomous snake native to Southeast Asia, known for its impressive size, often exceeding 15 feet in length. It is an excellent constrictor, meaning it wraps around its prey—such as rodents, birds, and reptiles—and tightens to suffocate it before swallowing. Burmese Pythons are highly adaptable, thriving in various habitats like forests and wetlands. They are popular in the exotic pet trade, but in places like Florida, they are considered invasive, posing threats to local ecosystems. Their size and hunting method make them formidable predators in their natural and introduced ranges.
