When fully grown, Burmese pythons are capable of reaching over 23 feet in length. Which fact about these pythons surprised you the most?

[kai.]

I love my ball python, he is such a sweetheart. He is my easiest pet to keep, and is just plain cute.

The 25 ft python was named Fluffy and she resided at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium. I've seen her twice and she was big snake, she unfortunately passed away a few years ago

[SangoNanami]

meanwhile people like me boop their snoots, call them little noodles and spaghettis and go "pbbbt" with them when they smell things.

The boa is truly one of nature's killing beast. Even the size is terrifying enough as it is. Escaping it will be a true challenge if caught. Thanks for sharing National Geographic.

I love my ball python kurt, he is so gentle and curious i’ve been spending ages watching videos of them in the wild to see how I can make his enclosure more comfortable and resemble his natural habitat better ❤️🐍

[grantlebaron]

I never knew these incredible facts! This was Ana amazing video and for a person like me who loves snakes and reptiles in general this was one of the videos that was actually good.

Don't forget the indentations in python. Unlike C# they don't have {} parentheses used in the same way :c

I love pythons!!! They are amazingly awesome and they are very amazing animals🐍🐍🐍🐍

[Murphys_Law]

00:50 is a boa constrictor not a python 🤦🏾‍♂️

[xxaddyrallxx]

i’m weirdly afraid of them but fascinated by them

[oliviamalerich]

I have no idea how ball pythons survive in the wild. My redstripe knows what will collapse under his weight, yet crawls over it anyways. Or gets stuck....

[xxzoruaxv]

Snakes are one weird but amazing species.

[BerishaFatian]

The only awe it will strike will be a loud

[bapgirl]

That was a boa constrictor at 1:45 -___-

[VacuumandFirealarm]

Although I am a big fan of snakes but Burmese python I personally don’t like even though they’re non venomous

[robsmith]
