==Diurnal or Nocturnal?==
Is this snake diurnal or nocturnal? I find both in the article, as well as in a web search. I think the "diurnal" sentence is probably wrong, though, since it reads "Burmese python is [[diurnal]], equally at home on the ground and in trees." I have deleted it. --[[User:Hcethatsme|Hcethatsme]] 23:44, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
== Not a species ==
While it's acknowleged early in the article that this is not a species, but a subspecies of the [[Indian Python]], later on I can see ''"As an introduced '''species'''"'' and ''"In Hong Kong, it is a protected '''species''' under Wild Animals Protection Ordinance Cap 170"'' – I don't think there's a concept of introduced subspecies, and subspecies protection too is unusual; but if these are references to the species ''Python molurus'' they should be on the Indian Python article. This said, do subspecies really deserve their own articles? Since they only represent the geographical variation of species, most of the information (likely 90+ %) will be overlapping with that of the nominate form, and therefore the bulk of subspecies articles' content are bound to be repetitions of species articles. --[[User:Anshelm '77|Anshelm '77]] 17:25, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
