Morphometric data of Burmese python and White-tailed deer in South Florida associated with a feeding event, 2025

July 18, 2025

Morphometric data (mass, length, circumference, age) collected during an observation of a radio-telemetered female Burmese python (Python bivitattus) that ingested an adult female white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus), retained the deer within the digestive tract for 10 days, and then vomited the deer coinciding with a drop in air temperature.
