It is highly likely that the majority of the food intake of these larger retics consists of ground dwelling prey species. Arboreal prey species would most likely rarely ever have the body mass to sustain the energy requirements of these larger retics. However, there is no doubt that these larger pythons use the trees as safe refuges on a frequent basis. Thanks again for the photos.
