The Indian python (Python molurus) is a large python species native to tropical and subtropical regions of the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia.^[3] It is also known by the common names black-tailed python,^[4] Indian rock python, and Asian rock python.^[5]^[6] Although smaller than its close relative the Burmese python, it is still among the largest snakes in the world. It is generally lighter colored than the Burmese python and reaches usually 3 m (9 ft 10 in).^[7] Like all pythons, it is nonvenomous.
