Masai Mara National Reserve
Masai Mara National Reserve The Southern African Rock Python is a huge snake; can be 5m long, although 2-4m more usual. Widespread in savanna and woodland, often near water. Active by day and night, shelters in thickets in holes and among rocks; usually on the ground but may climb trees. Swims readily, and may spend the day in water. It eats mostly mammals, including rodents, monkeys and small antelope. Pythons can bite savagely and also constrict; so large ones need to be treated with care.
