| The Burmese Python is a very large, thick
and heavy snake. They are semi-aboreal and are native to forests
in southern Asian countries including Burma and Indonesia. Wild
populations of Burmese Pythons are now thought of as 'theatened'.
The Burmese Python is quite popular as exotic
pets, and captive breeding have helped to keep the wild populations
stable. |
