GIANT RETICULATED PYTHONS 😍🐍 these reticulated python ladies are so kind for letting me hang out with them. Females get significantly larger than the males and that’s pretty common for the Reptile world 😮 these big girls are not even full-grown😱😱 • • • • • #wow #cool #giant #animals #snakes #huge #pythons #reticulatedpython #beautiful #bug #snakes #life #man #on #a #mission #wild #wildlife #amazing #animals #cool #video #moments #reels #insta #instagram | The Reptile Zoo

Reticulated pythons are the longest snake on earth. A snake that big can hold up to 40 eggs per clutch! These eggs are born, stuck together to prevent them from rolling away, or getting snatched up by other predators! Isn’t that awesome how nature adapts to protect!? 😱 That’s a whole lot of babies! thankfully these eggs are safe with us. 😀😁🔥 • • • • • • • • #reptiles #snakes #snakeeggs #awesome #wildlife #beautiful #snakesofinstagram #animalsofinstagram #animallovers #animalreels #reptileree
