DESCRIPTION
The python is a big snake, but it is not poisonous. It has brown and yellow stripes, a brown head and black eyes. It eats mice, rabbits and lizards

HABITAT
It lives in sandhills and rocky country.

HUNTING AND COOKING
You catch it in a hollow in a tree or in the opening of its burrow. You cook it in hot earth but singe it first to get the scales off. You put two straight cuts in the skin on the back either side of the spine all the way to the tip of the tail so that the fat won't burst out after the skin is singed. Then you coil the snake up and cook it in hot soil. When it's ready, you slice down the back where you cut it before to split it open. It feeds a lot of people.
