::Technically it can happen. Technically, you can be killed if you hit a deer while riding a motorcycle. But the odds of either happening, at all or as compered to other mortality/morbidity events, is so vanishingly small as to be irrelevant.

:::The link to the CDC article above citing an incidence of 93,000 cases of salmonella from contact with reptiles and amphibians is no longer valid (page not found error). However, I was able to find a summary of that article in another article, available [http://jama.jamanetwork.com/article.aspx?articleid=192240&resultClick=1 here], mentioning this rate— and explaining that it represents approx. 7% of annual cases of salmonella contamination in the US. If we are to accept that 7% figure, it begins to seem like sufficient reason to include mention of the bacterium somewhere, but the summary I found did not mention the specific species most prevalent as vectors, and I don't see any use in mentioning salmonella in every article about a reptile or an amphibian. Such a fact ''could'', however, be situated in the article on [[reptile]]s and/ or the one on [[amphibian]]s generally, I should think. Whatever one or another person's actual experience may be, a national rate of 7% of all salmonella cases in the US is large enough to warrant mention. [[User:KDS4444|<
::::The 7% figure, which I'm extremely skeptical of, is only from an abstract, not a peer reviewed article, and as such, is not a valid source. (Seriously, citing an abstract in a JAMA article? Any good reviewer should have put a stop to that.) Given that only 3% of the US has pet reptiles, and that typically only kids are affected by it, I'm very skeptical that these cases represent even 7% of a national annual total of almost 100k cases, especially considering the dangerously unregulated state of much of our food supply due to anti-regulatory zealotry. I'm not ruling it out, but I want to see the methods myself before that number is treated as valid. [[User:HCA|HCA]] ([[User talk:HCA|talk]]) 17:43, 28 November 2013 (UTC)

The article should be retitled “Burmese python” (lowercase ''p''), to agree with standard rules of capitalization, namely that common names of individual species (or subspecies) are not capitalized.--[[User:Solomonfromfinland|Solomonfromfinland]] ([[User talk:Solomonfromfinland|talk]]) 10:41, 19 May 2013 (UTC)

[[:Burmese Python]] → {{no redirect|Burmese python}} – Article was moved away from "Burmese python" to "Burmese Python" by an editor who stated he/ she wanted to make it more consistent with other reptile articles. The other python articles appear to exist under various species names rather than common names, but in any case I could find no justification or pattern for naming this particular animal "Burmese Python" rather than "Burmese python" ("python" not being a proper noun in this instance). Another editor (see above) has also noticed this irregularity, and Wikipedia [[WP:FAUNA|naming conventions for fauna]] suggest that no capital letter should be present on any word other than the first in a case like this. cf. [[Gila monster]], [[Australian water dragon]], [[King cobra]], etc. [[User:KDS4444|<
