PAThe African rock python is the largest snake in Africa. It can reach 6 m in length and weigh 50 kg but the average is 2.5 to 5 m.
With mottled shades of brown and disruptive markings it is perfectly camouflaged for a wide range of habitats, such as savanna, grassland, semi-desert, and rocky areas.
The African rock python is non-venomous although it does have sharp recurved teeth which it uses for getting a good grip on its prey. Long-lived, it can reach 30 years old.
This one was found swallowing an adult female impala.
