heyyyy mate..........

Pythons are a type of non-venomous snake found in Asia, Australia, and sub-Saharan Africa. One of the largest species of snake, pythons are most well-known for the way they kill their prey- by slowly squeezing it to death before swallowing it whole.

Pythons are large, long and muscular. They can reach as long as 35 feet and weigh as much as 300 pounds. Different types of python have different markings, but generally, pythons are shades of brown and olive with white underbellies.

Pythons are often confused with boa constrictors, who kill their prey in a similar manner. However, pythons have more bones and teeth than boa constrictors

Pythons are notorious for slowly squeezing their live prey to death. They typically eat small mammals, such as mice, but pythons have been known to kill and eat much larger animals, such as pigs and cats.

There are several types of python. The reticulated python, found in Southeast Asia, can reach up to 33 feet in length. The Indian python is often used by snake handlers and charmers to preform tricks. The royal python (also called the ball python), native to central Africa, can curl itself up into a ball. Finally, the diamond python is a large variety of yellow-and-black constricting snake native to Australia, so named for the diamond-shaped markings on its back

Because pythons are bulky snakes, they don't move in a sideways s-shaped motion like some smaller snakes do. Instead, the python moves using a pattern called "rectilinear progression." To move forward, the snake stiffens its ribs and the scales on its underbelly, which work to propel the snake forward.

Pythons move at a rate of about 1 mile per hour, which makes them at risk for predators- namely, large birds of prey, such as eagles, and large cats, like lions and leopards.
