Assam: Near the girls' hostel at Assam University in Silchar, a huge 17-foot Burmese python weighing about 100 kg was recently found. When it was originally observed on December 18 at around 10.30 p.m., it caused fear because it is thought to be the largest reptile ever discovered in a human habitat in the Barak Valley. The Burmese python was rescued and rehabilitated under the direction of conservationist and wildlife researcher Bishal Sonar, with help from rescuer Trikal Chakraborty. According to reports, 

According to Sonar, it was the largest python he had ever seen in his career and likely the heaviest snake ever recorded in the area. He claimed that although the Burmese python is widespread in the region and that small animals are its main target, it does not directly threaten people and should not be assaulted, disturbed, or injured. Several individuals, including 12 to 13 personnel of the Barak Valley Wildlife Division, were seen on video from the rescue attempt capturing the 17-foot snake.

Burmese Python: One Of The World's Largest Snake

The Burmese python is one of the world's longest snakes. The average adult's length is between 3 and 7 meters (10 and 23 feet), and its maximum weight is 110 kg (250 pounds). The largest verified specimens were 5.8 meters (19 feet) long and weighed 97.5 kg (215 pounds), but there are unconfirmed reports of 7-meter (23-foot) long snake. Large dark brown patches on a cream or dark tan background are characteristics of adult Burmese python skin. Although juveniles also exhibit this cryptic hue, the contrast between colors is more pronounced.
