We should try and help save any endangered animal no matter how evil people think that animal may be. people may not have realized it yet if one animal falls every animal will fall.

Jesse L.,

[edit] Size

"The longest recorded specimen measured 5.85 m (19 ft 2 in) (Cooch-Behar, West Bengal)." If this is a maximum for the nominate (P. m. molurus), it should be made clear. It's too low for the maximum of this species, as subspecies bivittatus (which, for some reason, has its own article) grows much larger than this. --Anshelm '77 16:56, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Agreed, but when I recently fixed up this article, I didn't have much in the way of specific information on pythonids with which to do any fact checking. I have lots of information on viperids, as well as general taxonomic and geographical data, but not much else (good books cost lots of money). I suspect that you are right about this value in that it probably applies to P. m. molurus; earlier version of these articles were written as though the contributers were unaware that the P. m. molurus and P. m. bivittatus are related. If nobody else does, I suspect that I will eventually correct all this information myself, although that may take a while. Hey, you wanna help out?! Ha, just joking.
