    I love research assignments. :nerd:

    They used three Burms to do the scenes. Here's a snippet I found out there...

    "Rowe had to train a Burmese python to be the dance partner of stripper Lorelei (Barbara Alyn Woods). For this, Rowe had to use three 8 foot, 40 pound snakes to play the part. Explains Rowe; "Three snakes had to be used for two reasons: after 10-20 minutes of work, the snake would get tired and overheated under the film lights, and then get grouchy and aggressive. Also, the snakes were fed every two weeks, each at different intervals, because they couldn't be handled until five days later when their food was digested. So with three snakes, I always had two on hand for filming." "

    I believe it's an albino burmese python.

    Neat...good to hear that the animal wrangler sounds knowledgeable and that the snakes weren't overworked. =)
