 * Habitats for the python is the tropical and subtropical regions of Africa, Asia, Australia, and the Pacific islands.
 * Although most snakes feed on small mammals, some large species can kill and swallow small pigs and goats.


 * The female lays 15 to 100 eggs, and broods them until they hatch.
 * Predators of the python are crocodiles, badgers, and mongooses, but the pythons greatest predator is man.


 * September 15, 2006—Last week firefighters were called in to move a big snake from a road. The reptile had swallowed an entire pregnant sheep and was too full to slither away and swallow its big meal. But the stress of being captured likely made the python to throw-up the dead sheep.


 * Pythons are constrictors, which means that they will ‘squeeze’ the life out of their prey. They coil themselves around their prey and with each breathe the creature takes the snake will squeeze a little tighter until they stop breathing completely.


 * The body of a six-foot gator was found last week in the Everglades, inside of a python. The python had tried to swallow the gator. It's stomach subsequently burst open.
