Reticulated Python
A Reticulated Python tastes the air with its tongue, while exploring its enclosure at the Toronto Zoo.
The Reticulated Python (Python reticulatus) is a species of python found in Southeast Asia. It is widely regarded as the world's longest snake and longest reptile, but is not the most heavily built (although it is among the four heaviest). Like all pythons, it is a nonvenomous constrictor and normally not considered dangerous to humans. Although large specimens are powerful enough to kill an adult human, attacks are only occasionally reported.
