Indian python

Python molurus

Description:

Python molurus is a large nonvenomous python species . The color pattern is whitish or yellowish with the blotched patterns varying from shades of tan to dark brown. This varies with terrain and habitat. Specimens from the hill forests of Western Ghats and Assam are darker, while those from the Deccan Plateau and East Coast are usually lighter

Habitat:

Occurs in a wide range of habitats, including grasslands, swamps, marshes, rocky foothills, woodlands, "open" jungle and river valleys. They depend on a permanent source of water.Sometimes they can be found in abandoned mammal burrows, hollow trees, dense water reeds and mangrove thicketsThey are found in India, southern Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bhutan, Bangladesh and probably in the north of Myanmar.

Notes:

There is another slender snake along with the python which I have no idea. These two were caught by some boys on the same day as the snakes tried to enter their house!
