... Burmese python (Python molurus). Independent of body mass, Burmese pythons possess a significantly lower standard metabolic rate and respond to feeding with a much larger metabolic response compared with water snakes. While fasting, pythons cease gastric acid and intestinal base secretion, both of which...

... the lungs from oedema. Within non-crocodilian reptiles, ventricular pressure separation has only been observed in varanid lizards and has been regarded as a unique adaptation to an active predatory life style and high metabolic rate. The systemic and pulmonary sides of the ventricle in Python molurus...

Here we characterise cardiac performance and flow dynamics in the Burmese python (Python molurus) using an in situ perfused heart preparation. The pericardium remained intact and the two atria...

... to digest the meal efficiently. The high energy cost of initiating digestion would thus be more than offset by the energy savings resulting from not maintaining the gut during the period of quiescence. The present paper extends these observations to the Burmese python (Python molurus), a snake species...
