Pythons

Unlike female boas, female pythons lay eggs. Pythons are hunted for their skin, which is used, like leather, to make shoes, handbags and other fashion accessories.

Does any one know why a stimson python would bite itself to death or at least appear to?

Have an autopsy to confirm, parasites such as mites and ticks may cause extreme irritation and the snake may have been desperate to remove them. Most likely the snake had some type of internal infection, bacterial or maybe viral, and in its later stages caused an itching, rubbing, or painful sensation and the snake's natural reaction would be to strike the external intruder. If there wasn't an external intruder such as live prey or another snake. An internal infection in its later stages is likely.

How to write a program in python to print the reverse of a number?

In python, type the following into a document.

NOTE: Sentences following a # symbol are comments, and are not necessary for the program to run.

#!/usr/bin/python

#This program takes a input from a user and reverses it.

number = input("Type a number: ") #This takes input from a user.

a = len(number) #This finds the length of the number

reverse = "" #This sets the variable reverse to an empty string.

for i in number:

a = a-1 #The places in a string start from 0. The last value will be the length minus 1.reverse = reverse + number[a] #Makes the number's last digit the new string's first.

print("The reverse of", number, "is", reverse + ".") #prints the resulting string.

This program will take any sequence of characters and reverse them. The final value is a string, but if an integer is needed, one needs only to add the line

reverse = int(reverse)

above the print statement.

However, this will stop the program from being able to reverse strings, as it is not possible to convert a string to an integer if it is not a number.

Exactly. Pythons constrict. As do Boa Constrictors. Coral snakes are deadly, but not like the King Cobra.The King Snakes are not in relationship ti the Coral Snake, even though it looks like it. They aren't deadly. King Cobra's can not spit up to eight feet away, but the Spitting King Cobra can. Enough information?

Does the reticulated python have any competitors?

Although the retic. is the "longest" snake in the world, it does not mean that it doesn't have any competitors. Other snakes, such as Burmese, Indian python and the amethystine python are very similar in terms of their hunting methods and prey. I wouldn't want to run into any of these animals "WILD" and at full size......they would present a big problem!!

Is an reticulated python an omnivore?

No, all snakes are obligate carnivores, and plants do not take up any part of their diets beyond the digested plant matter in their prey's stomach, which has been digested by the prey. The snake cannot digest the plant matter at all by itself.
