Up to a point, as when both begin to obtain lengths of over 10', pythons tend to obtain a girth which makes them difficult for all but the largest O. hannah to feed upon. while O. hannah obtain fascinating lengths, up to 18' have been recorded, the largest specimen I have ever seen was just shy of 16', they are quite slender. Generally, they will feed upon native colubrids, but are opportunistic and will not hesitate preying upon smaller members of their own species...
