The most enormous recorded reticulated python is 28.5 feet long and weighs 145 kilograms. Although they are known to be aggressive, they wouldn't hurt a human until provoked. The average species is about 16 feet. The beauty of their skin makes them a target in the commercial skin trade. Their infrared-sensitive pit organs and a keen sense of smell help them identify their prey. This snake lives up to 20 years but attains sexual maturity two years after birth, depending on its size.
Females lay up to 80 eggs which incubate between 80-90days. Within this period, the mother fasts and produces muscular shivers that warms the eggs during cooler times. Despite habitat disruptions, they are tolerant and survive still. Medusa is a reticulated python in Kansas City.
