Here's a dumb question but what's the difference? They look the same to me.

Zak,
The information below was taken the Woodland Park Zoo's website.
"The Indian python is one of two subspecies, the other being the Burmese python (Python molurus bivittatus). Both subspecies are commonly referred to as the Asian rock python (Python molurus). The lighter colored Indian python is native to India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Nepal. The darker colored Burmese python ranges from Myanmar, eastward through southern Asia to southeastern China and Indonesia, excluding the island of Sumatra.
The record size for an adult Indian python is about 21 feet (6.4 m). Most adult individuals are much smaller, rarely exceeding 12 feet (3.7 m). The Burmese variety tends to be longer and heavier."

Indians are actually lighter in overall color and the "arrow" on the head is generally missing the "piont".

Okay. I was looking at them online and man they look pretty close to each other. Don't see too many for sale unless the seller is like me and didn't know the difference.
