Python family

So this is a feature in pythons.

So Pythonidae, but also Crotalis, the genus Crotalis.

Rattlesnakes also have these pits.

And you're exactly right.

All five families of the clade, along with the dawn blind snakes, are small in size, adapted for burrowing, and possess reduced eyes covered in scales.

A second major group of snakes are bohoids of superfamily Bohoidea that includes lesser-known clades such as the earth snakes, spine-jawed snake, sunbeam snakes, Asian pipe snakes, and dwarf pipe snakes, and also the more well-known pythons of family Pythonidae, non-venomous constrictors native to sub-Saharan Africa, Asia, and Australia, and the boas of family Boidae, many of which give live birth, unlike the pythons, which all lay eggs.

Like the pythons, they are also large non-venomous constrictors, though they are found mainly in the Americas and include species like the green anaconda, true boas, and sand boas.

Lastly, except for a few smaller families that include the file snakes, false coral snake, and the thunder snakes, all remaining species, or more than 80% of snake species, are in the superorder Colubroides, another major group that includes small families such as dragon snakes, snail eaters, mud snakes, and African house snakes, along with the comparatively more biodiverse and better-known vipers, elipids, and colubrids.

It's great getting to talk to people, getting to give some demos in person.

You know, it took us, like I said, like probably three years to get this right for Ball Pythons.

I can't expect that we got it right 100% for green trees without anybody ever using it.

So we do want your feedback.
