Boas And Pythons

Basil with Adam

Boas and Pythons are non-venomous snakes that constrict their prey (ie. wrap it in tight coils). Pythons kill their prey by squeezing (constricting) them in tight coils. Their diet mainly consists of birds and mammals. The Reticulated Python is one of the largest snakes in the world, and can reach lengths of over 8m. They are common throughout parts of South-east Asia.

Fact about Boas and Pythons

Green Pythons have been known to lure their prey within striking distance by lying very still and wriggling their tail.
