Pythons are nonvenomous constrictors with prehensile tails that hunt small mammals at night using heat sensing. They have a variety of habitats across Africa and Asia and come in different sizes, from 3-foot-long tree-dwellers to 33-foot-long 400-pound snakes that eat large meals. Pythons face threats from birds of prey, honey badgers, and big cats.
