Burmese Python
With a lifespan of more than twenty years, the Burmese Python can grow up to more than 2 meters! What is more alarming is that while it grows in length, it grows in diameter too. Even though these snakes are generally calm and are sold as pets around the world, there have been cases of human adults being constricted and suffocated alive.
Having a big mouth usually gets you into trouble, but sometimes being on the receiving end of one is even worse. A 10-year-old South African boy was swallowed alive by an African Rock Python which took almost 3 hours. The other seven children who were with him, hid in a mango tree until help arrived. You can loosen up a little, don’t worry, a person is more likely to be eaten by a shark than by an African Rock Python. Feeling calmer?
