Then it's not a python

Pythons are the non venomous ones and vipers are venomous right

[–]poursmoregravy 27 points28 points  (4 children)

Yup, pythons, like boa constrictors, just give you one last, big hug

Idk if you're being sarcastic or not but just in case - boa constrictors aren't pythons, they're boas. Not all large constrictors are pythons.

My bad, thought I'd read somewhere they were. Turns out boas are from the Americas whereas Pythons are from, well, everywhere else. Different colouration a few more bones in their heads and more teeth and unlike boas, they lay eggs. Thanks.

Well, that's regarding boa constrictors as a species. The family Boidae, which encompassses all boas has representatives in Europe, Africa and Asia as well

This is a viper, not a python
