==Habitat and Status==
Pythons usually dwell in the jungles, occuring in dense as well as open forests. In the absence of forests, they also live in rivers and jheels. They also occupy abandoned mammal burrows, hollow trees, dense water reeds and mangrove thickets, normally near a permanent water source. These snakes have often been killed for their fine skin and are [[Endangered species|endangered]]. They are now partly protected by the Tamil Nadu Government. In Kerala and Tamil Nadu, python meat is eaten by locals as the fat has purported medicinal value. Like most snakes, they take one huge meal and can go for up to two years without eating.They depend on water.
