Indian Rock Python




Indian Rock Python (Python molurus) is a non-venomous snake, which kills its prey by constriction. The snake feeds on warm-blooded animals. Indian pythons grow to a length of approximately 4 m. The average life span is 40 years. Female lays 60-100 eggs.

Diet consists of small deer, domestic goats, big cats, jackals, squirrels, rats, hares, mongoose, birds and dogs.

Indian Rock Pythons hide in tree and rock cavities, often sharing the burrows of diggers such as the Indian porcupine.
