I agree with @Allan, it is not a python but a boa, and in particular a species of Sand Boa. The solid body, the very short, pointed tail and the indistinct neck all indicate a boa species. Based on the colour patterning and the keeled scales, I’d reckon it to be a Rough Scaled Sand Boa Gongylophis (Eryx) conicus.

These occur across the Indian sub-continent and Sri Lanka. Given your forum name, I assume this is in fact where you come from. Now that you know its ID you can simply google care of it to obtain the information you are seeking.
