pythonidae

Morelia is a genus of large snakes in the Pythonidae family.

The family in question is the Pythonidae.

This snake was long regarded as a member of the family Pythonidae; a fact still reflected in many of its common names.

It belongs to the Pythonidae family and the Morelia genus.

It contains the smallest members of Pythonidae.

A species of the Pythonidae family, non-venomous snakes that trap and asphyxiate prey.

For the obsolete snake taxon, see Pythonidae.

The taxonomy of the Pythonidae family is fluid; however, an arrangement of the genus may be summarised as:

The attempted arrangement of taxa in this, and other, Australasian Pythonidae has produced numerous synonyms.

M. s. spilota occurs at a higher altitude (for example, in the eastern Gippsland region) than any other member of the Pythonidae family.

Python curtus is a species of the family Pythonidae, a nonvenomous snake found in Southeast Asia.

Four species are currently recognized in the genus Antaresia, which is contained by the family Pythonidae; infraspecific ranks have also been described.

Analyses of DNA show that Loxocemus is most closely related to the Pythonidae.

Pythons were sometimes classified as a subfamily of Boidae, the Pythoninae, but are in this case listed under their own family, the Pythonidae.

Aspidites melanocephalus, commonly known as the black-headed python, is a species of snake in the family Pythonidae (the python family).

This is one of two species of Aspidites, the pitless pythons, an Australian genus of the Pythonidae family.

Anterisia childreni is one of four species of Antaresia, a genus of the family Pythonidae named after the star Antares.

The Children's python (Antaresia childreni), is a species of non-venomous snake from the family Pythonidae named after John George Children.

Their common names, pygmy python and anthill python, refer to the fact that they are the smallest member of the Pythonidae family and are often found in termite mounds.

A python is a constricting snake belonging to the Python (genus), or, more generally, any snake in the family Pythonidae (containing the Python genus).

For instance, many sources classify Boidae and Pythonidae as one family, while some keep the Elapidae and Hydrophiidae (sea snakes) separate for practical reasons despite their extremely close relation.

A member of the Pythonidae, M. s. imbricata is closely related to other Australian diamond or carpet pythons (genus Morelia), and is placed as a subspecies of Morelia spilota.

Morelia spilota, commonly referred to as carpet python and diamond pythons, is a large snake of the family Pythonidae found in Australia, New Guinea (Indonesia and Papua New Guinea), Bismarck Archipelago, and the northern Solomon Islands.

Even without venom, some snakes, particularly large constrictors such as those belonging to the Boidae and Pythonidae families, can deliver damaging bites; large specimens often cause severe lacerations, or the snake itself pulls away, causing the flesh to be torn by the needle-sharp recurved teeth embedded in the person.
