What should I do if I encounter a python?
First of all, we have to say that in general, pythons are only distributed in the tropics and subtropics. This is because snakes are ectothermic creatures, and their body temperature will change with the change of the outside temperature. The temperature requirements are higher, and temperate and boreal cannot meet their survival needs.
Secondly, the size of the pythons is too large, which also causes them to move very slowly on land,You need to use the buoyancy of water to support yourself. Therefore, pythons often lurk in tropical and subtropical waters and swamps. When we travel to these places, we must be careful to avoid them.
