The African rock python is a large, non-venomous snake of sub-Saharan Africa. It is one of 11 living species in the genus Python. It has two subspecies; one is found in Central and Western Africa, with the other in Southern Africa.
There are 26 species of pythons, and even among that group, rock pythons have an especially nasty reputation, said Kenneth Krysko, a senior herpetologist at the Florida Museum of Natural History in Gainesville.
Africa’s largest snake, the 20-foot-long (6.1-meter-long) African rock python can’t be easily tamed like other snakes, such as the more commonly kept Burmese python, Krysko said.
They’re so ill-tempered that “they come out of the egg striking,” he said in a 2009 interview.
“I personally don’t see why people need to have these things as pets—they’re not good pets and look at what ends up happening,” Krysko said today. “I was shocked to hear about this.”
The snake escaped from its enclosure and through the ceiling of the apartment where the boys were visiting.
