The Burmese Python

The Burmese Python is an impressively large snake with smooth skin and beautifully patterned blotches. Averaging around 12 feet long and tipping the scale at about 200 lbs, they're the third-largest species of snake on Earth! With expressive eyes covered by a protective layer called brille and horrendously strong jaw muscles, it’s one graceful giant. As a nocturnal animal, it has adapted to thrive in a variety of watery and terrestrial habitats and is a skilled swimmer.
