The animal on the cover of Python in a Nutshell, fourth edition, is an African rock python (Python sebae), one of the six largest snake species in the world. They are native to sub-Saharan Africa, but can also be found in other parts of the world. They can live in a wide range of habitats from temperate forests and grasslands to tropical savanna and forests. While they live mainly on the ground, they are also excellent swimmers and climbers and like to live near areas with a permanent water source. Additionally, they can be found near human settlements due to the presence of rats, mice, and other vermin.
The average size of this species of python is between ten and thirteen feet. They have large, stout bodies covered in colored blotches and irregular stripes, varying in color between brown, olive, chestnut, and yellow, fading to white on their underside. African rock pythons have triangular heads with a brown spearhead shape on top, outlined in yellow.
Pythons are nonvenomous constrictor snakes that kill their prey by suffocation. While the snake’s sharp teeth grip and hold the prey in place, the python’s long body coils around its victim’s chest, constricting tighter each time it exhales. African rock pythons feed on a wide range of mammals and birds, such as rodents, lizards, vultures, fowl, dogs, and goats. Python attacks on humans are extremely rare and only occur when provoked.
