Abstract
496 Among snakes, the Indian python (Python molurus) appears to have bred for the first time at Jaipur Zoo as reported in 1965. Since then many zoos have bred this species (Acharjyo, 1998). The first attempt was made in 1974 at Nandankanan Biological Park, Orissa by Dr. L.N. Acharjyo to record the reproduction and growth rate of Indian Python in captivity. The study was further extended up to 1978 and duly reported by him (Acharjyo, 1980). Successful breeding of captive stock depends on the age, health, living conditions and adequacy of food supply.
