Description
The Burmese Python is the largest subspecies of the Indian python and is one of the six largest snakes in the world. They are darker colored snakes that have brown spots that are scattered around there back. They are usually found near water and can be semi-aquatic, but they are also found in forests and areas with more trees. The average length of the snake is about 16 feet. Most snakes have one lung, but the Burmese Python has two making them different than other snakes. Pythons are also constrictors which means they do not have fangs, but they do have back curving teeth that grab prey and don't let it escape.
