Family Pythonidae
Blood Python
The Pythonidae family consists of tropical and subtropical constricting snakes. These snakes lay leathery eggs. The female incubates the eggs and keeps them warm by constriction of her muscles, which generates heat. Most species are nocturnal with heat sensitive pits in their mouths and vertical pupils.
