It is a little smaller than the Burmese Python, which used to be considered a subspecies. Typically it can reach some 3 metres long. Like all pythons, it is non-venomous and constricts its prey. Prey can be as large as sheep/goats and antelopes. The Indian Rock Python population has declined by a third in the decade 2010-2020 through habitat destruction and hunting (for skins and trade).
