Description
The Asiatic reticulated python (Python reticulatus) is a huge, constrictor snake native to southeast Asia. They occur naturally in India, Bangladesh, Burma, Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Malaysia, Singapore, and countless islands throughout Indonesia and the Indo-Australian archipelago, as well as the Philippines.
The longest known modern snake in the world, some specimens can grow as long as 6,95 metres, though 3-6 metres is more usual. The South American green anaconda, Eunectes murinus, is heavier than the reticulated python but not quite as long.

They are typically found in rainforests, woodland and grasslands, usually near streams, rivers or other water sources. Strong swimmers, they have even been seen quite far out at sea, and have colonized numerous islands throughout southeast Asia.

They feed on a wide range of prey, including (but not limited to) rodents, civets and binturongs, birds, primates, and pigs. Like other pythons, these snakes are ambush predators that wait for prey to get close, then strike out at it and asphyxiate it to death by constriction.

Some reticulated pythons are even known to have become man-eaters, although the width of human shoulders means they can't swallow anything larger than a teenager.
However, they don't usually attack humans unless they either feel threatened or mistake an arm or a leg for food. But as they are big, strong animals with large teeth and a powerful squeeze, they can easily injure people or even kill.
