Female Pimbura X Burmese Python (Hybrid) CB23

The Burmese Python is in the top 5 largest snakes in the world with sizes of up to 26 feet being recorded. This is however quite uncommon and it is possible to keep a Burmese python to a much more sensible size of 12-14ft.

Burmese Pythons make a loud ‘hissing sound’ as part of their defence techniques, this is created by them expelling a lung full of air and it not by making a sound from the mouth.

Burmese Pythons hunt using heat pits in their mouths which allow them to see heat created by mammals, this is why we always advise dipping the defrosted prey item into boiling hot water for 1-2 seconds before offering to your snake. Be sure to shake off any drips onto some kitchen roll first.
