Burmese pythons live all over the world and it is impossible to determine how many of them are left in the wild. Many of their habitats are not out in the open so there is not even an estimate of how many there are.
There is no official data as to how many pythons are left in the world. However, there are still hundreds of thousands of pythons in the wild and just as many in captivity.
Burmese Pythons were exported to the USA for the exotic pet trade. Sadly many were set free when they got too big or too aggressive for their owners to cope with - instead of being re-homed !
Burmese pythons are indigenous to Africa, but many snake owners have released their Burmese pythons into the wild of Florida, a climate in which these snakes are thriving and causing a real problem.
Because Burmese Pythons are a native reptile species of the Burma and India regions of Asia ! Releasing one into the wild of any other country would not only put the snake at risk from predators - but risk it feeding on domestic animals (including pets !)
There is no such species as an american rock python. If there are rock pythons in america - they are either African rock pythons (Python sebae) or Burmese pythons (aka Asian rock python) (Python molurus) - which have been released into the wild by incompetent owners !
Burmese Pythons I would say yes and no. My reason for yes is because they are constrictors they have Venom they Coil there Prey which is called constricting. If they get around your Neck or body they could be Deadly Getting one of these snakes outta its Enclosers I would have another person and someone that knows how to handle these snakes they are Huge. but when they are raised from babies yeah they could be Docile but Every Animal is Wild... You could take the Animal outta the Wild but you could never take the Wild outta the Animals.
they are not an endangered species so there are at least 250,225 known in the wild
Burmese pythons get the Range of 12-16 foot Usually,Females TEND to be bigger than males,Female Burmese Pythons usually get around 14-16 foot.they mature around 4-6 years of age,And can breed at 3 years of age.In the wild it usually takes around 7-10 years to get this Size,Breeders today "Powerfeed" Meaning feeding more food than they should makes your snake bigger faster,Male Burmese pythons get around 10-12 foot Sometimes 14 feet. They grow slower,But can get just as big as females if feed right. Sources:Me I breed Burmese Pythons and Other Serpents Ask anytime for help or Pictures.
The enemies of snakes are humans, mammals, crocodiles, birds, sharks, cats, and other snakes.
Yes, pythons do live in Arizona, primarily as a result of the illegal pet trade and subsequent releases into the wild. The Burmese python, in particular, has been spotted in the state, especially in southern regions like the Sonoran Desert. However, they are not native to Arizona and their populations are not established like in Florida. Conservation efforts are in place to monitor and control their presence in the area.
Burmese Pythons came to America the way many exotic animals do, through zoos, pet stores, wildlife refuges, etc. Many have ended up in the wild in the U.S. due to hurricanes and irresponsible owners.
From an outsiders point of view - I'd say no. The 'problems' caused by the apparent explosion in the population of Burmese Pythons is entirely the fault of human carelessness and indifference - there are always alternatives to just releasing an alien species the size of a Burmese python into the wild of a foreign country, rather than re-home it !It just goes to prove that people should research animals properly before they take on the responsibility !
