The answer is NO.

Not unless you are ready to deal with an adult python that:

  • Get's HUGE - between 15-18 feet
  • Requires a large enclosure
  • Is very expensive to keep
  • Defacates like a horse
  • Can live for up to 30 years
  • Requires more then 1 person to care for it safley
  • Is big enough to kill you, a family member or another oet

If your okay with all of those, great.

If not - DON'T GET A BURMESE!

I have been keeping large snakes for almost a decade and they are great pets if you are ready, prepared and knowledable. If not, they can be deadly in the wrong hands.

Pythons are not venomous. That includes the reticulated python. With that said, the bite of the python won't feel good and, like any puncture wound, can introduce hazardous biological materials into whatever (or whoever) gets bitten. The python will generally latch onto whatever it is trying to eat and the teeth will keep what they are trying to consume from getting away while it is gradually constricted. Once the animal is dead, the teeth help move the animal down into the snake. They curve backwards a bit so that they can pull the meal further into the snake.

Are pythons safe for pets?

It depends on what you think is fun. You cannot take a snake out and "play" with it, they are not like that. You can hold them, but not more than once or twice a day or they will get stressed. Some species cannot be handled for more than a few minutes every few weeks. If you want a fun pet get a dog or a cat.

How do you think pythons got to Florida?

Pythons got into Florida because people had kept pythons as exotic pets, but as they grew bigger, people realized that they didn't want their pythons anymore because they got too big to live in their house, so the people in Florida who had pythons released them into the wild. Because there were numerous people who had pythons as exotic pets, and then released them in the Everglades into the wild, there were eventually enough pythons that they could successfully reproduce and live in the Florida Everglades.
