Boaconstrictors can be found from northern Mexico through Central America (Belize,Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Ricaand Panama) to South America north of 35°S (Colombia,Ecuador, Peru, Venezuela, Trinidad and Tobago, Guyana,Suriname, French Guiana, Brazil, Bolivia, Uruguay andArgentina). Also in the Lesser Antilles (Dominica and St. Lucia), on San Andrés, Providencia and many other islands along the coasts of Mexico and Central and South America.

What is the biggest living snake?
By weight: The Green Anaconda is the biggest living snake species by mass, as it weighs up to 550 pounds.
By length: The Reticulated Python is the longest species of snakes, reaching lengths of 30-33 feet in the wild.
What is the biggest animal that anacondas have eaten?
Diet consist of (depending on the size of the anaconda, the larger the snake the larger the prey) large/small rodents like capybaras, also pigs, caiman, jaguars, deer, dogs, birds even fish and is acquired by ambushing with a quick strike, 100 rear-facing sharp teeth hold the prey while suffocating it with constriction.
General information!
Anacondas Scientific classification.
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Subphylum: Vertebrata
Class: Reptilia
Order: Squamata
Suborder: Serpentes
Family: Boidae
Subfamily: Boinae
Genus: Eunectes
The question what is the biggest snake can be confusing, the biggest as far as girth (largest being measured at 44 inches or 1,1176 m) is the Green Anaconda, on average anacondas are more then 20 ft (6.09 m) long with and average weight of 300+ pounds (136.08+ kg) many reaching lengths of 29ft ( 8.83 m) or more, with a weight of over 550 lbs ( 249.48 kg), in terms of length then and only then will the Reticulated Python exceed the anaconda, the longest python was measured at 33 ft ( 10.05 m) but even this python can't match the total mass of the anaconda.
Anacondas are members of the Boidae family of reptiles and spend most of their time in rivers and swamps of the Amazon Rainforest in South America which makes them excellent swimmers and are capable of holding their breath for around 15 minutes, female anacondas are generally 3 to 4 times larger then the males and bear their young live and are called "Neonates", the number of young varies, some have produced 100 babies, but the average is between 20 to 40 babies which are about 24 inches (0.6 m) long, they stay with the mother for about and hour then leave to be on their own. Diet consist of (depending on the size of the anaconda, the larger the snake the larger the prey) large/small rodents like capybaras, also pigs, caiman, jaguars, deer, dogs, birds even fish and is acquired by ambushing with a quick strike, 100 rear-facing sharp teethhold the prey while suffocating it with constriction, (the anaconda is so powerful it generally crushes it's prey) then swallowing it whole and by using it's muscles in a rhythmic fashion it works the food toward its digestive area, the digestion of the anaconda is very slow thereby allowing it to survive without food for well over a year.
Anacondas have around a 10 to 12 year year life span in the wild, in captivity some have reached 20 + years, the biggest threat to it is man and loss of their habitat.
Generally The pythons dwell in dense forests,far from the human establishment.Humans are not their natural prey item.May be due to the fact that we are bipedal and stands tall for a python's liking to swallow whole,on the contrary who might prefer swallowing a creeping four footed animal otherwise.But incidents are there where humans has been devoured by pythons.But its very much unlikely that a python would attack a human intentionally.
It depends on what you think is fun. You cannot take a snake out and "play" with it, they are not like that. You can hold them, but not more than once or twice a day or they will get stressed. Some species cannot be handled for more than a few minutes every few weeks. If you want a fun pet get a dog or a cat.
Where do spotted pythons hibernate?
(99%) pythons dont hibernate - when it gets too cold for them, they will try to find somewhere to stay warm - if not, the cold will kill them. They are naturally from climates where there is basically 'no winter'.
Can you take a ball python outside?
nope, they need temps in the 80s and high humidity levels to survive.
How big will a king snake grow?

What kind of snakes live in the tundra?
I am trying to look it up to but i have spent over 30 minutes looking for one. Sorry there are no reptiles or amphibians in the Arctic Tundra.
The woma python's habitat is the semi-arid regions and deserts of central and Western Australia, in areas where spinifex and saltbush are found. It shelters in old mammal or reptile burrows, hollow logs or in thick vegetation.

Why is Burmese Pythons endangered?
Burmese Pythons were exported to the USA for the exotic pet trade. Sadly many were set free when they got too big or too aggressive for their owners to cope with - instead of being re-homed !
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.
