==Description==
The Myanmar short-tailed python is a non-[[Venomous snake|venomous]], [[Ovoviviparity|ovoviparous]] [[constrictor]] which grow up to 6 feet (1.83 meters) in length.A female python was found in year 2002 and no one knew, what the species is, but eventually in the year 2011, it was named as a new species. As this species is just found in the year 2002,but named as a true species in the year 2011, so very less information about its size and weight are known and also a few specimens of the species are known. This species has some characteristics of the [[short-tailed python]] and therefore has been concluded into the same group which consist three other species. The Burma short-tailed python differs by the large amount of ventral scale (180 or more). The captured female was 152cm long and weight 3,6 kilo. It's body has a light brown base with rusty colored stripes and blotches on top. They are [[Scale (anatomy)|smooth-scaled]], primarily [[Terrestrial animal|terrestrial]], and possess, as do most pythons, [[Infrared sensing in snakes|facial pits]] which sense differentiations in radiant heat. They are naturally overall reddish brown in color with dark brown to black mottled spots running the entire length of the body.
