The golden python (Patteraless) Burmese Python is an albino mutant of the Burmese python, which is a very rare mutant species. The adult body of the golden python can grow up to 7 meters long. If a golden python in the wild has the opportunity to mate with another golden python, it will pass on its unique genes to the next generation. But this probability is very small, so the golden python is very rare. In its place of origin, it is often worshipped as a "deity" by Indians.

origin

, also known as Patteraless, Burmese Python, it is an albino mutant of the Burmese python, a very rare variant. The adult body of the golden python can grow up to 7 meters long. If a golden python in the wild has the opportunity to mate with another golden python, it will pass on its unique genes to the next generation. But this probability is very small, so the golden python is very rare. In its place of origin, it is often worshipped as a "deity" by the locals.

The golden python [1] was discovered by the Americans in 1981, and by 1983 it was stably bred and mass-produced, and now it has spread all over the world. Europe, the United States, Hong Kong and Taiwan have long been legalized as pets, and the number is quite large, and it is no longer in the category that should be protected.

The golden python cannot survive in the wild, because it is a kind of pathology, the lack of melanin in the body, low immunity is susceptible to a variety of diseases, the loss of the original protective color function can not avoid natural enemies and will die because of the absorption of too much ultraviolet rays, and the existing individuals are artificially bred.

distribution

The native species of Burmese python is mainly distributed in Bangladesh, Cambodia, China (FJ, GD, GX, HaiN, SC, YN, HuN); Hong Kong, India, Indonesia (Bali, Java, Sulawesi), Lao People's Democratic Republic, Myanmar, Nepal, Thailand, Vietnam.

Feeding habits

Feed on birds and mammals, and most individuals accept quick-frozen poultry meat such as white chickens and ducks due to long-term artificial breeding; There are also some owners who feed chicken thighs without nutrition for a long time, which leads to insufficient nutrition, illness, loss of reproductive ability, and even death. If possible, live rats, Dutch pigs, meat rabbits and other mammals should be put into the house, but the larvae should not be fed to hamsters and golden bears with burses; Because these animals feed on grain, they store a lot of grain in their sacs; The inability of the larvae to digest leads to enteritis and even death; Moreover, they have a peculiar taste, and it is often difficult for larvae to accept new food after predation, and it is difficult for them to grow healthily.

Morphological characteristics

Huge body, adult usually 5~6 meters up to 7 meters long, and females are larger than males. The Burmese python is characterized by its golden color with white irregular lines, smooth scales, large scales on the top of the head, and the appearance of hot cheek sockets. Like other snakes, the golden python has all vestigial limbs, with only a small stump on its tail; When the male snake copes, he uses the residual limb to stimulate the female snake to complete the mating.

Habits

The golden python usually only drinks water, and it usually takes 1~2 weeks to digest it once it eats. Most people are afraid when they see the size of the golden python, but in fact, the golden python is very tame, will not take the initiative to attack people, and is not poisonous.

Golden pythons are extremely rare! Among them, pure yellow, and pure bloodline (whether it can be determined as the old version), the price is higher.

This species belongs to the albino fixed body of the Burmese python, and some of the current market are basically artificially reproduced. In the wild, it is almost impossible for an individual golden python to grow. The larvae that circulate in the market are generally 60 to 100 centimeters.

The living habits of the Burmese python are basically the same, but the difference is that most of the Burmese pythons are wild individuals, and the disease resistance is stronger than that of the golden python. Because the artificially bred golden python comes out of a sterile farm, the antibacterial body from a young age is relatively poor. Plus albinism is a pathology in the first place. So it's easy to get a bacterial infection. This requires paying attention to the quality of food in raising.

The main food of young pythons is young mice, and it is difficult to feed a newborn baby python without young mice, so consider its food source before raising it. A small python on 50 cm can eat slightly larger young mice, and when it is under 60 cm, try to find a good food source for it.

The origin of the golden python is in Southeast Asia, it is a genetic mutant species of the Burmese python, because of its huge size, there are not many people who raise it as a pet in China, and very few can reproduce successfully, so on the market, a golden python still costs 1,000 yuan to 10,000 yuan, and its value is extraordinary.

Golden pythons like high temperature environments, and they have to soak in water when they have nothing to do, so Taiwan is more suitable for them to grow. However, although this golden python has a tame personality, it is not suitable to keep it at home, because since it is called a python, the volume is not too small, and it can easily reach a length of 5 meters, so it is recommended that the general family should think twice before raising.

Rarity

Golden pythons do not have wild populations, only a few individuals exist. These monomers have the characteristics of being unable to avoid natural enemies due to the loss of protective color function during juvenile years, and are also easy to absorb too much ultraviolet rays and die early, so the golden python is an extremely cherished species.

Introduction to breeding

Basic supplies

(1) Feeding containers - choose containers that can effectively prevent snakes from escaping, are easy to disinfect, have no sharp protrusions, and are ventilated and insulated.

(2) Heating pad - The golden python has requirements for room temperature, and it is necessary to keep the temperature between 26 degrees Celsius and 33 degrees Celsius in order to grow healthily, so the heating pad is very important.

(3) Water basin - the golden python generally molts once every 3 to 6 weeks, if there is an old skin on the body that has not been molted, it needs to be put in the basin with 30 degrees Celsius warm water to give it a "bath".

temperament

The growth rate of the golden python is not slow, it only takes 5 years, it can grow to more than 4 meters long, more than 80 catties, and many people are respectful of it. Although its appearance is very scary, it actually has a very gentle personality, and it is generally very cooperative when gently stroked it. But if you are rough with it, it will still lose its temper and make a "hiss" sound. As the golden python grows older, the cost of raising it is also increasing day by day, and it costs thousands of yuan a year just to eat. However, its value is the same as its weight, and it has increased several times, from more than 2,000 yuan at the beginning to more than 100,000 yuan now. "Although many people think that pythons are scary, as long as they are kept clean enough, fed on time, and understand their habits, it can also be a good pet."

Eating

The process of feeding the golden python looks a little cruel, usually after putting the rat in it, the golden python will roll it up with its body and wrap it vigorously, until the bones of the rat are all entangled, turning into a lump of meat, and then it slowly begins to eat. Sometimes the rat that is swallowed alive will also bark softly twice in its body. Golden pythons mainly feed on live mammals such as rats and rabbits, so breeders should think about whether they can accept this bloody and cruel food chain before preparing to raise golden pythons.
