The longest snake in the world - the python - is found in the tropics, in and around the Malay region. It is the reticulated or regal python, which can sometimes be as much as 30 feet long. It kills its prey by coiling itself round the animal and hugging it, so that it cannot breathe. Then it swallows the victim whole.
The python is strong enough to kill an ox, but chooses smaller animals which it can swallow. If a python is disturbed soon after a meal, it is likely to vomit the animal up again, still whole. It rarely attacks man and is not poisonous.
Most pythons live in trees. They also like lying in water where it is cool.

The longest snake in the world is the reticulated python and it lives in Africa. The snake becomes so large as to be able to consume wild pigs and small children. I once heard a missionary speak at church about the villagers cutting the snake's head off because it swallowed a small child. The people then skinned the snake and ate the meat. The hide was preserved and he brought it from church to church to show people. Since it is a constrictor, the child could not be saved. In captivity, it takes about 4 people to safely handle one of these snakes, therefore we do not sell this snake in our pet shop even though we legally can.

Longest Snake
The reticulated python (Python reticulates) of southeast Asia, Indonesia, and the Philippines regularly exceeds 6.25 m (20 ft 6 in). The record length is 10 m (32 ft 9.5 in), for a specimen shot in Celebes, Indonesia, in 1912.
