Blood Python

According to "Frightful Animals" in National Geographic, the blood python is a very gigantic and creepy snake.... at least in my opinion. The blood python squeezes around its prey until they stop breathing, then it swallows it whole. It eats small animals. Blood pythons are found in Southeast Asia.

A surprising fact about the blood python is that it has scary teeth.... and it doesn't even use them! I think this fact is surprising because number one: it's a big, scary python and you would think they would use their teeth to chew. Number two: Why have teeth if you're not going to use them?

Well, I'm glad I haven't gotten face-to-face with a blood python. If I did, I'd be dead right now. The scary part is that I have a python. My python is a ball python. It also wraps around its food. It eats dead mice and we make them look like it's still alive. It is brown with black spots and it is very, very cool. At least it's not a blood python.
