How To Feed a ​Burmese Python

Temperament

Burmese Pythons are typically very docile and relaxed but can be slightly skittish when they're young.   As adults they can become very aggressive feeders which can easily injure their handlers.  It's recommended that you always have to people when feeding or handling these snakes as they get larger.  These snakes aren't recommended for beginners due to their aggressive nature when feeding and large size.

Venomous

NO

Lifespan

15 - 25 years

Size

10 - 20 feet

Weight

150 - 250 pounds

Morphs

- Dwarf
- Albino

Habitat & Temperature

Ambient temperature of 81 - 85 degrees F
Basking surface temperature of 90 - 93 degrees F

Humidity

60 - 65%

Where To Purchase?

Burmese Pythons aren't recommended for anyone who hasn't prepared for their massive size an enclosure requirements along with the amount of food they require.  They can be purchased from some reputable breeders online.

Feeder Sizing

Burmese Pythons can generally eat 1 - 1.5x  the widest part of there body.  However if your feeding 1.5x it's girth it's recommended that you make your feedings less frequent.  Be careful of what you feed your snake as certain rodents can have green belly, mites and other diseases if they weren't properly raised & euthanized before packaging.  

Available Premium Feeders:
We offer premium zoo quality veterinarian raised feeders such as Rats & Mice here in Canada but there are many other reputable suppliers if your located outside of the country.

Feeding Frozen Vs Feeding Live

Feeding a Burmese Pythons live rodents can be dangerous and is not recommended.  Captive bred snakes specifically, don't gain the instincts that they normally do in the wild and are much more susceptible to injury. If you leave live rodents in an enclosure with a snake that isn't hungry it may even get eaten by the rodents themselves.  Live rodents also carry potentially dangerous diseases and pathogens that frozen rodents are much less likely to have.  Lower temperatures help kill and prevent growth of diseases which is why it's not only recommended to use frozen feeders for your snakes safety but also your own health.
