At Det 2 the SEALs had two pythons. I have a photo of me with Reptilius Minimus over my shoulders. He was 14 feet long. Reptilius Maximus was 18 feet long and nobody put him on their shoulders. They were all Burmese pythons.
Doc Spence at Binh Thuy had a python named Doctor No. It was 22 feet long and the biggest snake I ever saw. It was longer than the "giant python" just found in Florida. It too is a Burmese python.
...And too..the SEALs at Bac Lieu (TradeWinds)...had a large python, which we fed rats to, yah know on them boring days, sum'en to do...Once when "poundcake" (det 6 gunner), was a sleep'n I watched it crawl up and onto him...should'ah heard the scream from him when I holler'd "scramble.!!"...didn't yah just enjoy have'n a good time on det....
