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.

What is more dangerous pythons or boas?
They are the same because they both have enough power to kill a human but in my opinion I think the Boa is more dangerous.
a defense for pythons is usually strong constrictions around its prey or predator. It can also bite with powerful jaws.
Yes, but it would take a long time to digest the human body.
Do boa constrictors shed their skin?
yes and they can eat a whole hippo. Cool Huh?
All snakes shed their skin. Sidenote: hippos live in africa, and there are no boa species in africa big enough to eat a hippo. Even crocodiles won't dare go for a hippo. Hippos have been seen simply biting a crocodile in half. There are no snakes on earth (I don't even think a retic could) that could eat a hippo.

Are green tree pythons good for begginer pets?
Absolutely not. Green tree pythons may look majestic and pretty but they are fairly very expensive and their equipment is very expensive too(and to care for them is quite difficult). I would recommend a tree Python for at least a 4th or 5th snake (and maybe even a 3rd) but not for a 2nd or a begginer snake.
Yes. Ball pythons are affectionate snakes and they will show it if you keep good care of them.
its is a material made from the snake skin. It feels like leather !! :)
Why doesnt your ball python come out during the day?
Ball Pythons are nocturnal animals. They will most likely sleep (although their eyes don't close, they do sleep) during the day, and become active at night. Often, I will hear my Ball making noises during the night, and when I turn the light on to see what he's up to, he'll be moving around and exploring. So, don't worry if a Ball Python doesn't come out of its hide during the daytime; it's just taking a rest.
a ball python can cost 80 to 200 dollars it depend on which pet store your at
They are in the same formation as a humans but their teeth are like hooks pointing to the back of their throat, this insures that its pray can't escape... When you get bit u have to wait until it lets go...
Can you feed a burmese python rabbit that you buy in the meat department at Kroger?
yes IF the snake wil eat dead food and it is warmed up in hot water so it is as warm as a live rabbit. However it should not be a main part of your snakes diet because it is just meat with no other nutirents. A live rabbit, chicken or what ever is usually higher in nutrition because of its stomach contents. Some snakes will not eat dead food.
