Burmese Python

Before I tell you more let’s get on the same track,the scientific name for the Burmese

Python is python molurus bivittatus.

Thought boa’s and pythons were the same? well,they are not, they only have two things in common 1:they are both big.2:they both squeeze prey.Now that were on the same page let’s get some facts down,the average length for a Burmese Python is about 16 feet. As I stated before The python is able to squeeze prey until dead then eats.it makes sure to find the head first,if it does not the fur will rub against his mouth.(very painful.)

HABITAT

Snakes like the Burmese python, live in Tropical and warm areas like subtropical Asia, Africa,and Australia.The Burmese python’s light yellow to brown skin blend in with the dirt and mud. A python’s nest is usually a burrow in the ground because pythons are cold blooded and it’s warmer in the ground than in a tree.

Like most snakes young are born by egg,a clutch is about 50-100 eggs. a baby snake will break out using a small beak on the snout that will soon fall of.young look like basically a replica of their parents and eat small mammals like mice,although a snake might not eat every day.

Female snakes incubate their eggs by twitching muscles slightly.there are about 150,000 pythons that occupy southern Florida.

DIET

A grown snake will probably eat any thing it can get into his mouth,from blue jay to elk,for a baby snake it’s a different story,a baby snake will probably only eat deer if it’s dead or if his mom/dad brings it to him/her.

CONCLUSION

I forgot to mention that a snake,probably most snakes are able to open their mouth as wide as a watermelon because they can temporarily separate their jaw from their skull,I hope you learned as much as I did.
