Native to the jungles and grassy marshes of Southeast Asia, Burmese pythons are among the largest snakes on Earth. They are capable of reaching 23 feet (7 meters) or more in length and weighing up to 200 pounds (90 kilograms) with a girth as big as a telephone pole.

A Soldier earns an average salary of $33,624 per year. Most people with this job move on to other positions after 20 years in this career.
Base Pay. The base salary of an active duty soldier is calculated based on the soldier's rank and time in the service. The lowest rank in the Army, a private E-1, earns a base pay of $1,467 per month. But you are unlikely to stay at that rank for long: Soldiers frequently attain the ranks of private E-2 and private first class before they graduate from advanced individual training. That would bring them up to $1,730 in base pay.
