Introduction Hey,do you like pythons? Well you`re in luck. I am studying them. I love the python it is so interesting. The python is really fast if it has not eaten anything yet. When the python has eaten something it slows down because it needs to digest its food.The python is also a part of the Frightful Hall of Fame.Many animals have to eat a lot unlike the python. The python only has to eat once and it can go for weeks or even months without food.
