00:00 Pythons are snakes that can be dangerous, but most people who have been killed by pythons in the United States were killed by their own pet pythons due to improper care or handling.

04:59 Pythons are old world snakes found in Asia, Africa, and Australia, with 41 species, some of which can grow to be 20 to 30 feet long and have a substantial bulk to length ratio, and they have labial pits that allow them to sense heat and see in a way that is impossible for humans to imagine.

09:58 Pythons have remnants of a pelvis and hind limbs, called spurs, which they use for various purposes, including stroking females during mating; they can be found in warm and wet areas such as rainforests, woodlands, grasslands, and swamps, where they hide under rocks, in animal burrows, and even in urban debris; they move slowly using a form of movement called rectilinear progression; they can stay submerged in water for up to half an hour and camouflage well with muddy bottoms; and they hunt by waiting in water for prey to approach.

15:20 Pythons are ambush hunters that wait for prey to come to them, and they are capable of eating things that are even bigger than they are.

20:02 Pythons are able to eat things that are much larger than themselves because their genes change when they eat, causing their organs to shrink and their metabolism to increase.

24:44 Burmese pythons, an invasive species in the Everglades, have caused a decline in local mammal populations and are wreaking havoc on the ecosystem, leading to efforts such as the annual Python Challenge in Florida to try and control their numbers.

29:58 Burmese Pythons in the Everglades are successful at reproducing because their hatchlings are too big to be eaten by any predators in the area.

44:33 Feeding a constrictor snake involves providing them with dead mice or rabbits, and it's important to follow specific steps when feeding larger snakes like the Burmese python to ensure safety, as they can be dangerous if not handled properly.
