difference between indian pythons and burmese pythons...

[Brandon Osborne]

Colour, size and pattern are all diffrent. The pink stripe is just a "high quality" mark on regular burms. I rarely see indians with a dark pink jaw line. Indians have more of a puzzle pattern(like het granites) and are more of a true brown with earthy tans. But its hard to say without pics of him.

Actually, Indians have more of a block type pattern. The colors are much lighter and the triangle head pattern is faded toward the snout. As far as size, there is not much difference at all. Both average around 10-12' for males and 14-16' for females, although there are exceptions to the rule in all cases. In burms, het greens and het granites do have a different look than normal....as well as het lucies.

Sri Lankans have the puzzle type pattern and even more muted pale colors. The triangle head pattern for them is even more faded and in most cases looks as if it is cut in half. Sri Lankans are also the smallest of the molurus group and by far the most defensive/aggressive depending on how you look at it.lol.

In all aspects, this animal could be a cross. Burms tend to have a more irregular than what this animal exibits. Having bred all three subspecies, they are have their distinct traits. Having seen many crosses of molurus X bivittatus, this one looks very similar.

Good looking animal regardless.
