===Variations===

The Burmese python is frequently captive-bred for color, pattern, and more recently, size. Its [[amelanistic]] form is especially popular and is the most widely available morph. This morph is white with patterns in butterscotch yellow and burnt orange. Also, "labyrinth" specimens with maze-like patterns, khaki-colored "green", and "granite" with many small angular spots are available. Breeders have recently begun working with an island lineage of Burmese pythons. Early reports indicate that these [[dwarf Burmese python]]s have slightly different coloring and pattern from their mainland relatives and do not grow much over {{cvt|2.1|m|ftin}} in length. One of the most sought-after of these variations is the [[leucistic]] Burmese. This particular variety is very rare, being entirely bright white with no pattern and blue eyes, and has only in 2008/2009 been reproduced in captivity as the [[homozygous]] form (referred to as "super" by reptile keepers) of the co-dominant [[hypomelanistic]] trait. The caramel Burmese python has a caramel-colored pattern with "milk-chocolate" eyes.
