Pythons

Pythons are a family of non-venomous snakes that are native to Africa, Asia and Australia. Pythons are ambush predators that use constriction to kill their prey. 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.

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.

Can ball pythons be asexual?

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.

Are a pythons poisonous?

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.
