Most python hatchling will die or fall prey to a large variety of predators within their first year. Some hatchlings are not even able to brake through the leathery egg shell and drown. Others simply die of complications during the process of emerging from the eggs.
Burmese pythons reach sexual maturity in four to five years. Males breed at 7 to 9 feet and females breed when they are at least 9 feet. When ready to mate, the female pythons release Pheromones, chemicals that are secreted to send messages to other animals, which notify male Pythons in the area that there is a female that is ready to mate. After mating, the female may lay up to 100 eggs, but the average amount of eggs they lay is about 35. Unlike most snakes, the female coils around the clutch until the eggs hatch, keeping them warm. This is accomplished by muscle spasms which increases the temperature by as much as seven degrees. The mother also stays with the eggs to protect them from predators. The female will attack and strike at anything daring to approach the eggs. During this entire time, the mother does not leave the eggs, not even to eat. Once the babies hatch, the mother leaves them on their own. They must find their own food and shelter, and must protect themselves from predators. Dying python hatchling was filmed by Heiko Kiera aka Ojatro in South Florida in 2016.
