'''Pythons''' are solitary [[creature]]s who can be found in [[tropical]] moist broadleaf [[forest]]s. While described as "small", they are in fact the largest species of mundane snake in the game, twice the size of an [[anaconda]] and as heavy as a [[grizzly bear]]. They may attack [[Dwarf|dwarves]] or [[domestic animal]]s who provoke them, but they don't carry any [[syndrome]]s and aren't particularly aggressive. Like most other snakes in the game, they continuously grow through their entire lives, reaching their max size at the age of 20, though some pythons may die of old age as soon as they reach the age of 10.

'''Pythons''' are a little strange: while their description claims that they are a "small snake" that lives in trees, the actual creature is 200,000 cm<sup>3</sup> in [[size]], the size of a [[grizzly bear]], and some dwarves [[preferences|prefer]] them for their "great size". Pythons are easily the largest species of snake in the game once they grow out - at half their size, [[anaconda]]s are a very distant second - but even so, lacking a <tt>[LARGE_PREDATOR]</tt> tag, they will flee contact with your dwarves. The actual pythons you will encounter in the wild will seldom reach their full size, however, as they continue to grow until they are twenty years old, and pythons only live to be ten ''to'' twenty years old (<tt>[MAXAGE:10:20]</tt>).
  
Pythons can be captured in [[cage]] [[trap]]s and [[Animal trainer|trained]] into exotic [[pet]]s. They are born adults and as such can't be fully tamed. They provide a poor amount of returns if [[butcher]]ed, but their females are prolific [[egg]]-layers, making them a good choice for [[egg production]]. Products made from python parts are [[Item value|worth]] twice more than those made from common animals.
+
They are very good [[swimmer]]s.
 
 
Some dwarves [[Preferences|like]] pythons for their ''great size''.
