Burmese Python
The Burmese Python is a large, non-venomous constrictor snake native to the tropical forests of Southeast Asia. It is one of the world's largest snakes, with some individuals reaching over 20 feet in length.
The Burmese Python is a powerful and opportunistic predator that preys on a wide variety of animals, from rodents to small deer. It is a master of ambush, and it uses its powerful muscles to coil around its prey to suffocate it before swallowing it whole. While it is a powerful snake, it is generally shy and avoids human contact.

They are constrictors, meaning they wrap around their prey and squeeze to overpower it before swallowing it whole.
Burmese Pythons are excellent swimmers and can stay submerged for up to 30 minutes.
Their scales are very smooth, allowing them to glide easily through dense vegetation.
