Reticulated python

Description

Is the longest snake in the world. It has an elongated head, wide and relatively flat snout. The coloration has striking patterns that are designed to help them bland in with the leaf litter of tropical rainforests. These patterns are a mix of light browns, creams, dark yellow browns, and even black. Their heads are yellowish with a thin, dark line and their bellies are yellow or white.

Behaviour

They are constrictor snakes that coil around their prey and squeeze until they suffocate. They are excellent climbers, and therefore are often seen in the trees, where they can rest, as well as being very good swimmers, even being found far offshore, and consequently have colonized many small islands within  their range of distribution. 
The female makes nests of chranches and leaves where they usually lay between 15 to 20 eggs. fter 9 to 11 weeks, the young will be born, measuring about 70 cm.
