African Rock Pythons (Babies)

African Rock Pythons (Python sebae) - Africa's largest snake species and one of the largest snakes in the world! The typical adult measures 16 ft (4.8 m). Rumors of specimens over 20 ft (6 m) are considered reliable, although larger specimens have never been confirmed.

Males are typically smaller than females, with the largest one ever recorded measuring 14.5 ft (4.4 m) and weighing 138 lbs (62.6 kg), caught in southern Florida. The snake varies considerably in body size between different areas. In general, it is smaller in highly populated regions, such as in southern Nigeria, only reaching its maximum length in areas such as Sierra Leone, where the human population density is lower.
