Figure 6


Fig. 6. Small intestinal mass and length of fasted (following a 30-day fast, open bars) and fed (2 days postfeeding, solid bars) Python brongersmai, P. molurus, P. regius, P. reticulatus and P. sebae. All five species had significant postfeeding increases in small intestinal mass, whereas only P. reticulatus showed an increase in intestinal length with feeding. The photographs of small intestines of fasted and fed P. molurus illustrate the postprandial trophic response. Asterisks indicate significant differences between the two states; *P<0.05, **P<0.01.
