''"The longest recorded specimen measured 5.85 m (19 ft 2 in) (Cooch-Behar, West Bengal)."'' If this is a maximum for the nominate ''(P. m. molurus)'', it should be made clear. It's too low for the maximum of this species, as subspecies ''[[Burmese Python|bivittatus]]'' (which, for some reason, has its own article) grows much larger than this. --[[User:Anshelm '77|Anshelm '77]] 16:56, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
:Agreed, but when I recently fixed up this article, I didn't have much in the way of specific information on pythonids with which to do any fact checking. I have lots of information on viperids, as well as general taxonomic and geographical data, but not much else (good books cost lots of money). I suspect that you are right about this value in that it probably applies to ''P. m. molurus''; earlier version of these articles were written as though the contributers were unaware that the ''P. m. molurus'' and ''P. m. bivittatus'' are related. If nobody else does, I suspect that I will eventually correct all this information myself, although that may take a while. Hey, you wanna help out?! Ha, just joking.
