African rock python is a snake originally from tropical savannah areas in Africa. This snake is the largest snake on the whole African continent and adults can grow up to 30 feet (9 m). African rock pythons are usually brownish colors with darker brown spots all over their body. For these snakes, it is not unusual to weigh more than $ 200 (90.7 kg). These pythons usually remain hidden during the dry winter season and tend to be active as soon as summer in Africa, which usually occurs around May.

The narrowing is a method that the African rock python uses to kill its prey. These snakes usually remain hiding around the edges of the streams before their prey surprises by attack. African rock pythons are able to swallow very large animals whole, and if they are able to catch animals large enough, they can be able to go all year without food. Even if these pythons can occasionally be without food, they cannot survive for a long time without water. These snakes are carnivores and above all the spiceSales of animals such as gazelles, cats and antelopes.

African rock python could lay up to 100 eggs at a time and a woman normally aggressively protects eggs. It usually takes up to three months before the egg drop and when hatching are about 18 inches (45 cm) when they hatch. Once Hatchlings are ready to leave the nest, they will not return. African rock pythons are not social creatures and tend to do everything by themselves. Although these snakes have been able to live up to 30 years in captivity, they usually do not last for more than 20 years when they live in the wild.

Since 2011, an African rock python is an endangered species. The population of this type of python was reduced due to construction and businesses in their natural environments, but extinction has not become a problem for this species. In addition to development, the number of African rock pythons can also reduce slightly due to hunting. Many people like to use the skin of these HAds in the production of handbags, shoes and other items. Although a special permit is required to hunt this type of snake, many people still do it illegally.
