About
The Burmese python is a massive constrictor snake that ranks among the largest reptiles on the planet.
Females typically grow significantly longer and heavier than males. While shorter on average than the reticulated python and lighter than the green anaconda, it is still one of the world's largest snakes. Its expandable skin and flexible jaw ligaments allow it to swallow whole animals much wider than its own body.
From Wikipedia
The Burmese python is one of the largest species of snakes. It is native to a large area of Southeast Asia and is listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List.
