The Indian Rock Python, also called Asian Rock Python, is native to a range of habitats, usually near water,
of the Indian subcontinent and its immediate neighbours, including part of Myanmar.
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).
