Python (genus)
''Python'', from the Greek word (πύθων/πύθωνας), is a genus of nonvenomous pythons found in Africa and Asia. Currently, 12 species are recognised.〔 A member of this genus, ''P. reticulatus'', is among the longest snake species and extant reptiles in the world.
==Geographic range==
In Africa, members of the genus are found in the tropics south of the Sahara, but not in the extreme south-western tip of southern Africa (Western Cape) or in Madagascar. In Asia, they are found from Bangladesh, Nepal, India, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka, including the Nicobar Islands, through Myanmar, east to Indochina, southern China, Hong Kong and Hainan, as well as in the Malayan region of Indonesia and the Philippines.〔
Some suggest that ''P. molurus'' and ''P. sebae'' have the potential to be problematic invasive species in South Florida.〔(Python Snakes, An Invasive Species In Florida, Could Spread To One Third Of US ) at (ScienceDaily ). Accessed 18 October 2008.〕 The United States Department of Agriculture reports that only ''Python molurus bivittatus'' is an invasive species in the United States.〔(Invasive Species: Animals ). Invasivespeciesinfo.gov. Retrieved on 2013-07-17.〕 More recent data suggest that these pythons would not withstand winter climates north of Florida, contradicting previous research suggesting a more significant geographic potential range.〔Avery, M.
