Giant snakes are a major commitment,
the Burmese Python grows in excess of 20 feet and
can weigh over 200 pounds, not a reptile to take
on lightly ( no pun intended ). They have an expected
life expectancy of approx 20+ years.
Burmese Pythons come in a wide array of color
and pattern mutations prices range from about £50
for a normally colored and pattern baby to several
thousand pounds for the latest mutation. The Albino Burmese ( Golden Burmese
) is probably the most popular of the colour mutations.

the first one a wild caught female

are unknown. The genetics of this snake is assumed yet unproven.
