Behavior Swimming at Keoladeo National Park It hides in abandoned mammal burrows, hollow trees, dense water reeds, and mangrove thickets. It lives in a wide range of habitats, including grasslands, swamps, marshes, rocky foothills, woodlands, open forest, and river valleys. molurus occurs in India, southern Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bhutan, Bangladesh, and probably in the north of Myanmar. bivittatus, which inhabit moist and meadow habitats, it usually prefers drier and arid places ĭistribution and habitat Bannerghatta National Park usually lighter in color, dominated by brown, reddish-brown, yellowish-brown and grayish-brown tones.a diamond - shaped spot on the head blurred in the front part.reddish or pinkish color of light stripes on the sides of the head.
the presence of light "eyes" in the centers of spots located on the sides of the trunk. ĭiffers from Burmese python ( Python bivittatus) by the following signs: In Pakistan, Indian pythons commonly reach a length of 2.4–3.0 m (7 ft 10 in – 9 ft 10 in). The longest scientifically recorded specimen, collected in Pakistan, was 4.6 m (15 ft 1 in) long and weighed 52 kg (114 lb 10 oz). īecause of confusion with the Burmese python, exaggerations, and stretched skins in the past, the maximum length of this subspecies is difficult to tell. Two individuals even measured nearly 3.6 m (11 ft 10 in). This value is supported by a 1990 study in Keoladeo National Park, where 25% of the python population was 2.7–3.3 m (8 ft 10 in – 10 ft 10 in) long. The nominate subspecies occurring in India typically grows to 3 m (9 ft 10 in). Specimens from the hill forests of Western Ghats and Assam are darker, while those from the Deccan Plateau and Eastern Ghats are usually lighter. The rock python's color pattern is whitish or yellowish with the blotched patterns varying from tan to dark brown shades. It is generally lighter colored than the Burmese python and reaches usually 3 m (9 ft 10 in). Although smaller than its close relative the Burmese python, it is still among the largest snakes in the world. It is also known by the common names black-tailed python, Indian rock python, and Asian rock python. 
The Indian python ( Python molurus) is a large python species native to tropical and subtropical regions of the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia. Python ( Asterophis) tigris Fitzinger, 1843.
