Burmese Python Python molurus bivitattus Natural History These large and beautiful pythons are indigenous to the tropical rainforests and grasslands of Indonesia, Malaysia, and the regions formerly known as Burma. While a small number of specimens are still imported from the wild, the vast majority are captive bred by breeders all over the world. Much of this specie's popularity has stemmed from it's attractive appearance coupled with it's large size and gentle demeanor. It should be mentioned that as a "giant" snake, casual hobbyists should resist the urge to own these snakes. While babies and juveniles are quite easy to maintain, adults can be difficult to house and feed for all but the most dedicated of keepers. |
