Reticulated Python (Malayopython reticulatus)

The Reticulated Python holds the record for being the longest snake species on the planet, with some individuals reaching up to 21.3 feet in length.

Its skin features patterns reminiscent of a net or 'reticulum,' hence its name. This pattern gives it camouflage in its native South and Southeast Asian habitats.  They inhabit rainforests, woodlands, and even water bodies. 

Aside from their swimming skills, Reticulated Pythons are stealthy hunters and prey on mammals, birds, and other reptiles. While they usually prey on small to medium-sized mammals, larger pythons also hunt pigs and primates.

Northern White-lipped Python (Leiopython albertisii)

The Northern White-Lipped Python, also named D'Albertis Python, is a long creature with adult females reaching 7 ft. With a spectrum of skin from brownish-violet or blackish-blue to yellow or grey, it sports light markings. 

Its diet encompasses birds, mammals, and even lizards among the young. Armed with heat-sensitive pits, it navigates nocturnal hunts skilfully.

Water Python (Liasis fuscus)

The Water Python, primarily found in Australia, thrives particularly on the Adelaide River floodplains in the Northern Territory. Adult pythons, boasting an average length of 6-8 feet, display a long head equipped with thermosensitive pits. 

They are cloaked in a uniform dark brown color, shining with an iridescent quality. Below, their belly presents shades ranging from muted to vibrant yellow, complemented by a cream-colored throat. 

Intriguingly, despite their name, Water Pythons often venture far from aquatic surroundings. These creatures favor nocturnal activity, taking refuge during the day in hollow logs, riverbank dens, and amid vegetation. Their instinct is to dart towards any nearby water if caught off guard.

Black-headed Python (Aspidites melanocephalus)

The Black-headed python is native to the northern half of Australia, typically growing up to 6.6 feet in length. You'll find this snake dwelling among rocks and loose debris, excluding arid regions.

This terrestrial creature has a muscular body with a flattened profile and tapering tail. Its shiny, black head - a feature that extends several inches down its throat - contrasts with the earthy tones of its banded or brindled-toned body.

Bismarck Ringed Python (Bothrochilus boa)

The Bismarck-ringed python inhabits the Bismarck Archipelago and is often seen in rainforests and piles of coconut husks. Adult snakes reach lengths of up to 6 feet. 

During its juvenile years, it is characterized by brilliant orange and black rings. However, as the snake matures, that vibrant color fades to a more subdued brown with black rings or a uniform blackish-brown tone with a light spot behind its eye.

Primarily feeding on small rodents, the Bismarck-ringed python is an active forager. They also venture into human settlements and agricultural domains to hunt prey.

Corn snakes eat small mammals

Corn snakes' preferred diet consists primarily of small mammals, particularly rodents. In the wild, they commonly feed on mice, rats, and other small rodents suitable for their size. Studies on the feeding habits of corn snakes suggest that they play a crucial role in controlling rodent populations.

Corn snakes are opportunistic feeders, meaning they will eat a variety of prey when available. Apart from rodents, they may consume unguarded bird eggs, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates.

They are not venomous

Corn snakes, like many colubrid snakes, are not venomous because they lack the specialized glands and fangs required for venom production and delivery. Instead, they are constrictors, which means they subdue their prey through constriction rather than venom injection. Corn snakes have powerful muscles and flexible bodies that can overpower their game.

A corn snake detects potential prey by using its keen sense of smell and flicking its tongue to pick up scent particles in the air. When the time is right, the corn snake strikes, seizing the prey with its sharp teeth and coiling its body around it. They then swallow their prey whole, usually head first.

The illegal pet trade resulted in an unregulated invasion

The illegal pet trade has a devastating impact on the ecosystem. One of its consequences has been the unregulated spread of the red rat snake beyond its native habitats in North America, enabling it to establish new colonies in different regions. 

In Australia, the corn snake is listed as an invasive species. The species appears to thrive despite capturing 79 of them between 2002 and 20141.
