Are python snakes safe around kids?
Well, it's alldependent on what snake you get, and where you get it from. I have a Ball Python for example, and it's very sweet natured and will let you hold him all the time. I also have younger siblings (6, and 11) who also hold him and they have never been hurt.
Also my Python doesn't bite. Allmost allof it's kind dont. So,really it just depends on the type of snake. ( captive pets from a pet store or rescue are more tame and appropriate for children compared to wild snakes)
So just research and find a snake you like that is wellmannered and controled.
Well, every ball python will be either male or female. But, the only way to tell is to have it sexed by a vet or to get a set of sexing probes (unless you are going to have a pro show you how to use these, never sex your snake yourself, you could injure or kill it.) If you are wondering why your snake won't mate though, there are lots of reasons. Breeding snakes in captivity can be hard. You will need to simulate a winter period and then gradually increase the temp and humidity (for both animals in separate habitats.) Once your fake weather has made it to "mating season" (about 2-3 months including winter period) you can introduce the female into the male's tank. If they hit it off great, it may take a few days. Don't feed them while they are together but be sure they have both eaten prior to mating. If they fight separate them and try again in a few months. A local zoo, vet or herpetologist can help you more. You may be able to get some advice from a local university too.
I think they could have meant in a sexual orientation way.
So in that sense, snakes are not able to be asexual. Animals have no sense of sexuality.
Where is the serial number on a colt python?

Why are ball pythons called ball pythons?
they call them ball pythons because they roll up into a ball when they are frightened but they call them royal pythons because in all the palaces in Africa they kept them around to eat the rodents hence the name royal python
Edit: They got the name Royal Python from their latin name of Python regius - LONG before they got the nick-name 'ball python'
How much does a black snake weigh?
There are various types of snakes referred to as 'Black Snake'. Even given a specific snake name this would be hard to answer as there are various different factors, such as male or female snake, just hatched or a couple of years old, just fed or hasn't fed in a few days. I know this doesn't exactly answer the question but you won't be getting a specific answer without more details.
The diamond python of Australia and nearby islands is not officially endangered. It is, at most, endangered in certain areas of Australia due to habitat loss. For example, in Victoria it faces the possibility of extinction, whereas in Western Australia it is considered "threatened". Elsewhere in Australia, it is not endangered.
How big does a African rock python get?
Adults CAN reach 20 feet (6 metres) or more. It is one of the worlds longest snake species.
It depends upon the species. Most python species are smallish, and are not dangerous. Large species such as the Australian scrub python, olive python, Burmese python and reticulated python are all known to have attacked people and are known to inflict horrible injuries and even death!
It depends what specie of Python you're talking about. The smaller Pythons - such as the Royal python (Python regius) can give a nasty bite - but are not capable of harming people(due to their size). However - larger species - such as the African Rock Python (Python sebae sebae) are certainly large enough to swallow a small child.
Between Python and R, which one would you pick for text analytics and why?
Python would be the best option because it has Pandas library that provides easy to use data structures and high-performance data analysis tools. R is more suitable for machine learning than just text analysis. Python performs faster for all types of text analytics.

How do you tell a ball pythons age?
you can tell by its length, a heathly 1 yr old snake should be between 4-7ft.

What is the biggest snake in the world?
It should fall in the group PYTHON.There lie two groups.Python reticulatus (one with a slim but longer body stature.)and Python molurus (a bit flabby and muscular and stunt.) The greatest variety should come from these groups. Another contender for this spot is Anaconda from south America.But to tell the greatest among these seems awfully restricted due to the fact that,we are yet to discover the greatest among the snakes in the wild.

How does a python snake kill its prey?
well its pretty much common sense. constrictor. Hmmmm... well i wonder if it constricts its prey and then eats it The constrictor snakes like the Boas,Pythons,Anacondas,Eryxs..all these snakes are powerfully built,since their bodies are made up of single muscle fiber straight head to tail. A mouth capable of flexing more than 180 degrees,the independently movable two halves of the lower jaw,the inbent teeth to carry food inside only,the highly movable skull bones.maxilla and mandible from each other...All these adaptation make these snakes extremely suitable to swallow large prey even more than their body size.The prey items devoured thus are constricted unless the breathing stops.Death ensues due to asphyxia to be swallowed whole later on by these snakes.
altough to be exact they wrap their coils around the prey items and squeeze every time the prey trys to take a breath. eventually the heart stops from lack of oxygen in the system and the constrictor proceeds to swalaw its prey whole with 'jaw walking'.
How do you get out of a python squeeze?
Somehow keep it from wrapping around you I would imagine is the only way... They are so strong it seems if it got it's body around you you would be pretty much done for. Unless you're talking about a small snake haha
well barn owls aren't cannibalistic that i know of but barn owls may be eaten by larger owls sometimes for example the great horned owl will sometimes prey on barn owls.
in times of scarce food if a hatchling dies, yes, no food is wasted, other then that barn owls usually don't eat other barn owls.
What is the difference between a python and viper snake?
Grass snakes are not venomous but they still do bite, they can have bacteria in their mouths which can cause infections. While pythons are long and muscular using their strength to squeeze the life out of there prey and devour them whole.

The (Asiatic) Reticulated Python (Python reticulatus) is a member of the Pythonidae family and has and average length of 15 ft. (4.57 m) to 25 ft. (7.62 m) however, it is possible for some to grow near 30 ft. (9.14 m) with a weight of 300lbs. (136.08 kg.), the largest was measured at 33 ft. (10.05 m), they can be located in Southeast Asia and can be found in the tropical rainforest's, a member of the Boa family the female can have as many as 100 eggs at a time (Average is 60 eggs) and the hatchlings are at least 2 ft. (61 cm) in length, life span of the python is 25 to 30 years. Diet consists of small mammals and birds, the larger the python the larger the prey which include pigs, dogs, cats and primates, etc., the python ambushes it's prey and suffocates the victim rather then crushing it, after swallowing the prey whole digestion takes many days to several weeks depending on the size of the prey.
Can a gecko live in the same cage as a ball python?
not unless you want a dead gecko. jokey. BUT seriously, don't keep them together because it might make a fight, gecko might take ALL of corn snakes food then get ill off it, and they can give diseases to eachother. LOVE THEM seperately. twilight maniac
What are pythons behavioral adaptations?
Pythons have a variety of interesting behavioral adaptations. They hiss, to discourage predators, spread their heads to make them look larger than they are, and many species also play dead by flipping over on their backs.
What are the adaptations for green tree pythons?
Smooth green snakes are protected by law in many of the places that they range. Collecting them would be an illegal act. Removing even a single individual is essentially a death to its local population. Consider research, conservation, and photographs rather than the alternatives.
