Burmese Pythons in the wild

forrest_fanning Sep 12, 2005 02:38 AM

I am interested on seeing and photographing Burmese and Reticulated pythons in the wild. I have been looking around to see if there is any information or tourism related to this and I cant find any. Has anyone ever been to China, India or Asia and seen them?

No need to go to china, just go down to the florida everglades. Plenty of burmese hanging around there.

In the Bharatpur sanctuary north of New Delhi they know where the pythons live (in large burrows). Guides would take you out to see the pythons basking near their burrow mouths. I was there on Christmas day and it was too cool and foggy for any pythons to be out basking. We saw some drag marks near the burrow entrance.

Retics are much more shy snakes and are rarely seen just sitting out. They are usually deep in forested areas or in swampy areas. I have spent some time in their range and never seen any that weren't macheted into pieces.
