Own every animal of the family Pythonidae.
Pythons are non-venomous constrictors of Africa, Asia and Australia. Unlike most boas, they lay eggs. Many females coil around their clutch to protect it. Some can even warm it that way. Several species grow very large. Many sense the heat of their prey with pits along the lips.
The start of their anecdote. The album's other cards are for you to discover in the game.
Pythonidae
Antaresia childreni · Least concern
A mother that shivers for her eggs. She coils around her clutch for seven weeks and trembles now and then to keep it warm. Its genus is named after the star Antares and captive snakes have passed 30 years.

Pythonidae
Aspidites melanocephalus · Least concern
Even other black-headed pythons are on the menu. This Australian snake feeds mainly on skinks, but also on geckos, bearded dragons and even the perentie, Australia's largest monitor lizard. Disturbed, it hisses loudly but rarely bites. Females coil around their eggs until they hatch.

Pythonidae
Bothrochilus boa · Least concern
Its young wear brilliant orange and black rings. The colours fade within about a year and adults turn brown or blackish. Hunting for prey, it sometimes slips into houses on the islands of the Bismarck Archipelago.
