Burmese Pythons live in the jungle and the grassy marshes of Southeast Asia. Burmese Pythons are one of the largest snakes on Earth. They are capable of reaching 30 feet or more in length and weighing up to 40 stone with a girth as big as a telephone pole. When young, they will spend much of their time in the trees. As they mature their size and weight make tree climbing a bad idea. They are also excellent swimmers, and can stay submerged for up to 30 minutes before surfacing for air.

Burmese Pythons are carnivores, eating small mammals and birds. They have poor eyesight, and stalk prey using chemical receptors in their tongues and heat-sensors along the jaws. They swallow all their food whole.
