Amethystine Python

Description:

Around 3 - 4 meters ! Brown, yellowish and very docile. We took it away from the road and drag it safely to the bush

Habitat:

These include the wetter tropical rainforests, monsoon forests and vine forests.

Notes:

There is no record of Amethystine Pythons being a danger to human beings and will do everything possible to avoid human contact. Night time gives pythons a distinct advantage. Apart from smell, they rely on heat-sensing organs below their jaws to detect warmth radiating from bird and mammal prey. During the day, ground heated by the sun confuses this heat-picture, but at night, when the surroundings are cool, a potential warm dinner stands out. (Source: Australian Department of Environment)
