Massive 6.3-Meter Python Becomes Star Attraction at Morocco’s Crocoparc Agadir

In a press release, the crocodile zoo opened in May 2015, revealed that this snake was born in 2003 in Limoges with a breeder. It is originally from Asia and lives at Crocoparc with 9 other reticulated pythons and a group of green anacondas in a unique space called "The Snake Cave".

The reticulated python is considered "the largest snake in the world, and some specimens can reach 8 meters in length". They live about thirty years and mainly feed on mammals and birds. Females lay between "15 to 80 eggs and incubate their eggs for 2 to 3 months". Its skin used for leather goods makes it "a vulnerable species".

According to visitors to Crocoparc, the snakes are voracious. But in reality, they are content with little. For adult pythons "2 to 3 chickens per month are enough", specifies the same source.
