What do Burmese Pythons look like?

Answer 1

you can tell by the marking of its skin which are black rimmed and brown on hte inside, in between these markings it is a light brown color. The most signifent thing is the brown arrow shaped marking on its head. Near the end of the head in the middle should be a flame-shpaed hole in the marking. just look at a pic on Google.

Answer 2

Externally the tail just past the vent will be wider with a male burm. This is not a sure bet way of telling. The best way is to probe the snake. If you prefer the popping method you can do that as well. Burmese Pythons are very strong and after about 2 years old they will resist the popping method.

If you are unsure how to probe, you should find someone that can show you. Watching on-line videos or just hearing about the probing procedure will not get you ready. You need hands on experience.

Answer 3

They are a large, heavy-bodied snake. Native to the Indian sub-continent, they typically grow to around six metres in length. In captivity, young snakes can be fed on large mice, and adults fed on large rabbits. In the wild they'd catch their own food - anything up to the size of a goat !

Answer 4

The Burmese Python is a long snake which can grow to over 10 ft long. They can be recognised by dark, irregular, patches on their bodies. These patches are surrounded by pale gaps which break up their outline allowing them to be more camouflaged. They can weigh up to 200 pounds (which is 90 kg).
