Reticulated Python

Malayopython reticulatus

Reticulated Python

Adult reticulated pythons inhabit rainforests, swampy areas, river margins, plantations, and human-altered habitats across Southeast Asia. They are ambush predators that seize mammals and birds with their jaws, then kill by constriction before swallowing prey whole. This species is one of the longest snakes in the world, and large females can exceed the size of most other living snakes.
