The Reticulated Python is the longest living snake in the world that reaches 10m as the maximum length. It is also the biggest python in the world among other similar species whose weight is up to 135kg. The Reticulated Python inhabits mostly woodlands, rainforests or small rivers in Southeast Asia.
Despite that fact that it is a non-venomous snake, it can attack every stranger aggressively for protection reasons. This giant python is a nocturnal snake which prefers to hunt at night. It preys on rats, deer, monkeys, and pigs; it typically squeezes the prey harshly until it gives up life.
