The reticulated python is a carnivore and its staple food is small animals. It can prey on large prey such as deer and wild boars in the wild, and it is also one of the two types of pythons with an exact record of cannibalism. Reticulated pythons have a very good appetite, and when they grow over 10 feet, they may see their owners as food.

After understanding what the reticulated python eats, let's introduce its shape and characteristics.

The reticulated python has a very strong winding force and a slender body, making it the longest in the world pythons. The upper lip scales have concave lip sockets, and the head has three fine black lines, one in the middle of the head, and the other two extending from the eyes to the corners of the mouth. The back of the body is gray-brown or yellow-brown, with complex diamond-shaped black-brown and yellow or light gray mesh pattern, hence the name.
