Unlike other snakes that prefer amphibians, small reptiles, birds, and insects, the reticulated python (Malayopython reticulatus) is among the few animals with humans on their menu. This world’s longest snake belongs to the family Pythonidae and is common to the Southern parts of Asia. These man-eaters are excellent swimmers hence prefer wetlands, grasslands forest, and rainforest. They are aggressive and the name comes from ‘reticulated’ net-like motif that gives it great camouflage. Reticulated pythons are identified by their suborbital portion present in the upper jaw lacking a lateral or protruding figure, back in black X repeated patterns or diamond-like patterns. The snake is hunted for its skin, as a pet, and traditional medicine.
