Hormone levels and morphometric data of male Burmese pythons (Python bivittatus) in South Florida
July 2, 2026
Hormone levels (corticosterone, testosterone) and associated sampling information (date, year, month, reproductive season, sampling location, time to bleed) from free-ranging male invasive Burmese pythons (Python bivittatus) in South Florida. Dataset also includes morphometric data (mass, length, circumference, age) of each individual male sampled during the years of 2018 to 2024.

South Florida's subtropical climate has facilitated the establishment of numerous invasive species, including the Burmese python (Python bivittatus). Despite decades of efforts to manage the invasive python population across South Florida, we lack a comprehensive understanding of their reproductive physiology, limiting the development of targeted control strategies. Here, we...
