Python reticulatus
Python reticulatus, also known as the (Asiatic) reticulated python or regal python, is a species of python found in Southeast Asia. Adults grow to over 28 feet (8.7 m) in length and are the world's longest snakes and longest reptile, but are not the most heavily built. Like all pythons, they are non-venomous constrictors and normally not considered dangerous to humans, even though large specimens are powerful enough to kill an adult and attacks are occasionally reported.
An excellent swimmer, it has even been reported far out at sea and has consequently colonized many small islands within its range. The specific name is Latin meaning net-like, or reticulated, and is a reference to the complex color pattern.
