Habitat : Burmese Pythons have adapted to a wide range of habitats from open woodlands to Rainforests, usually near a permanent water source and adequate cover.

Food and Hunting : Very opportunistic hunters, they take a wide range of prey in the wild from small mammals and birds to larger animals like deer, monkeys, and jackals. In captivity they are fed rats and rabbits appropriate to their age and size.

Conservation : One of the largest snakes in the world, Burmese Pythons are still quite common throughout their range although hunted for their skins. Aberrant color patterns such as albino and patternless are selectively bred.

Captive Care : Their extremely large size and heat requirements make them suitable only for advanced keepers. Large constrictors such as these should only be handled with at least two knowledgeable people present. Most specimens feed well on frozen thawed rats and rabbits, although their food intake can get rather large with age and size.
