Python farming could offer one of the most sustainable sources of meat in the world, according to a new study Python produces large slabs of white meat similar to chicken filet.

Researchers said python meat could be part of a solution to reduce food insecurity, especially in regions where eating reptiles is common.

In a year-long study published in Scientific Reports, researchers investigated python farming potential in Southeast Asia, specifically inspecting two species, the reticulated and Burmese pythons.
