[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’d like to go back to the python. Do they strike? Is the person in front of you in danger of getting but? Do they bite and hold on? Are they all mostly Burmese or are more aggressive African rock pythons popping up? Are they easy to spot or can you walk right past them?[/quote]

OP here

Yes, they will strike, absolutely. They will sometimes strike and hold, and other times not. Our friend we were hunting with has been bitten once, it was very unpleasant. They have lots of large pointed teeth, and each puncture becomes a laceration because the snake invariably moves and pulls back, tearing the skin at each puncture. Their saliva is also an anticoagulant, so the wound bleeds a lot as well. So yeah, it’s dangerous - far more so than iguanas.

They are mostly Burmese. There are Rocks too. But mostly Burmese.

They are NOT easy to spot. You have the best luck from 7-9 am this time of year, when they’re basking to get their temps up and start the day. You find them in bare spots of ground or wrapped around trees.
