Python African Rock behavior

The stunning African Rock Python is an absolutely huge snake! These animals often reach lengths of 15 feet, and thus may make difficult to keep, although impressive, captives.

Usually, African Rock Pythons can become tame with regular handling, although this species seems to vary in temperaments of individual snakes to a great degree. Because of their large size, African Rock Pythons with bad tempers are not desirable as pets, and have earned the species as a whole a rather bad reputation. In order to have a better chance of a tame snake, you should buy a captive bred animal. Many times, captive bred African Rock Pythons can become quite calm. Even captive bred snakes are not appropriate for beginning snake keepers. In the wild, African Rock Pythons remain hidden until prey passes by, when they snatch it. They are usually found near water and prefer to hunt submerged near streams. In the wild, African Rock Pythons prey on mammals, and may take animals as large as antelopes!
