It can reach up to 23 feet in length and weigh as much as 200 pounds, though sizes around 12 feet are more commonly observed in the wild. This nonvenomous constrictor preys on a wide range of animals, demonstrating a notable impact on local ecosystems, particularly in non-native regions. The species' attractiveness as a pet often leads to cases of release or escape into the wild, where these pythons thrive and reproduce, giving rise to significant ecological concerns.
