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 does it mean when your goldfish is turning reddish?
If the red is near or on its head, it is stressed. Stress leads to a weaker immune system, which means it is prone to getting sick. Try these tips to keep your fish calm:
* Move your fish to a quiet room in your house. * Do not disturb it. Check on it once in a while. Do not crowd around its tank. * Add aquarium salt to the tank. Follow the instructions to how much to put. Aquarium salt is like soda to fish, except it is healthy for them. It helps them reduce stress. If you are ever in Chelmsford, MA, go to Fins&Feathers Pet Store. They have the healthiest pets ever! Just tell them Erin sent you.

How long do burmese pythons go without eating?
Pythons (and other snakes) have a slow metabolism - meaning they dont use up loads of energy like we do.
This being the case - a typical Burmese Python can happily go for weeks or months without eating, as a lot of the energy they get from each meal is laid down in body fat.
Anaconda, yes the green anaconda will win it is the biggest snake in the world and the 2nd longest. the anaconda is almost all muscle and can take down prey ranging from ants to crocodiles to deer. while the reticulated python is the longest snake in the world and can also take down very large animals it is not as strong as the anaconda lacking muscle that the anaconda has but is a lot more aggresive.

Pythons can eat almost every thing. From full size humans to dead mice.
How long does it take a ball python to eat a mouse?
ONLY feed your ball dead prey. Live can injure or kill a ball python.
If you leave dead mouse in their cage overnight, after they grab it, about 15-30 minutes before it is eaten. They digest for 48 hours, so do not handle them in that time or else they may throw up.
What can you do if a ball python wrap around you?
You can find their tail and gently pull away, outwards from your body part. They are strong but they have no leverage if you pull away. They also will move if you play with their tail. I find that that annoys them.
If you are not hurt by the snake, it is perfectly okay to let them wrap around you.
There is no such species as an american rock python. If there are rock pythons in america - they are either African rock pythons (Python sebae) or Burmese pythons (aka Asian rock python) (Python molurus) - which have been released into the wild by incompetent owners !
It depends on the size of the snake. Newly-hatched specimens will take small to medium-sized mice. As the snake grows - so does it's appetite... Adult (growing to around 3 metres) will feed on large rats.
Do you need a license to own a ball python?
No, I have 2 ball pythons and there is no license required.
