I saw that episode. I remember thinking that the one was clearly a Carpet Python, but that the other looked a lot like a Children's Python I once owned. I don't know much about the native habits of the Chidren's, but mine was not adverse to climbing and adept at taking mioe from tongs. I don't remember it using full-monty wrap&squeeze ala BC or Ratsnake - seems like she was more of a ball-python-esque fore-body only squasher. But then, that was a long time and several snakes ago.

I strikes me now (lol) that the placement of the eyes and heat pits on the sides of the Children's head looks advantageous to snagging warm food on-the-fly. I always thought they looked odd with the eyes and pits directed sidewyas...maybe this is why??

CHeers.
