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.

Why do people ceep pythons as pets?
Burmese Pythons came to America the way many exotic animals do, through zoos, pet stores, wildlife refuges, etc. Many have ended up in the wild in the U.S. due to hurricanes and irresponsible owners.
A pythons habitat may include trees and logs. They also enjoy dark and cool places, where they can hide and wait for prey.
How long does it take for a baby ball python to grow?
Balls generally reach their full length at 3 years.
Why do ball pythons eat humans?
Royal pythons - from their Latin name Python regius - are well-known for their 'random' food fasts. Some of the specimens I've had over the last 25-plus years have gone almost a year without food - despite it being offered on a regular basis (even changing the food to a different rodent failed !)
So long as your python isn't losing massive amounts of weight, and is still drinking water, it should be okay. Keep offering food at your usual intervals (weekly, bi-weekly etc). It wouldn't hurt to get it checked out by a vet - to rule out a medical problem (such as internal parasites etc).
What kinds of adaptations do pythons have?
Some species have heat sensing reactors on their jaws. These help them seek their prey which is normally warm-blooded, like mammals and birds.
What is the taxonomy of a Burmese Python?
The average length of an adult Burmese Python - is around 12 feet (3.7 metres). Average adult weight is around 79 pounds (39 Kilos). They have a light tan background colour, with dark brown 'rosettes' of colour along the whole length of their body. The underside is usually a creamy-white colour.
Adult Green Tree Pythons average about 120-200 cm (3.9-6.6 ft.) in length, and though rare, the maximum length is up to about 7 ft. long.
What type of birds do pythons eat?
Burmese pythons in florida are known to wipe out the swan, goose, heron, and crane population.
How often do ball pythons shed their skin?
It varies greatly - according to the species and age of the snake. A baby corn snake, for example, will shed every 10 weeks or so - as it's got lots of growing to do. By contrast, an adult Burmese Python may only shed once every two years.
If you think they are, that's what you think. I personally don't think they are dumb but its right for people to think whatever they want to think.

The South Pacific.
(If bitten and venom is injected)
The most venomous snake on earth is the Belcher's Sea Snake (Hydrophis Belcheri) or the Faint Banded Sea Snake, some consider the Inland Taipan (Oxyuranus microlepidotus) an/or the Beaked Sea Snake (Enhydrina schistosa) to be the most toxic, however, with recent and more accurate studies 2010 prove the Belcheri has a 100 times more toxic venom then the two above or any other snake on earth.
It has a paddle-like tail, breathes air and can hold it's breath up to 8 hours, a few milligrams of venom can kill over a thousand people.
It's habitat has a wide range in the South Pacific.

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.
