The Burmese python is a very large python native to southern Asia. It is semi-arboreal, but heavy-bodied. Females are typically larger than males. They are light colored snakes with many dark brown blotches covering them in an attractive pattern, which has further increased their popularity with both reptile keepers and the leather industry. The pattern is similar in color, but different in actual pattern to the African rock python.Their natural prey are birds and mammals. The Burmese python is capable of raising its body temperature while incubating its eggs; by twitching its muscles it increases the temperature to slightly above that of the ambient air.
