Burmese Python
Do you think the snake in the picture is swallowing a crocodile or an alligator? If that’s the case, you’re on the right track. Let’s give you a moment to process that. In terms of both weight and height, the Burmese python is the second largest snake on the planet. It can grow to be seven and a half feet long and up to 19 feet long, weighing up to 400 pounds. They’re also nonvenomous constrictors, which means they can simply suffocate a victim.

Western Diamondback Rattlesnake
For many people, the American Southwest isn’t full until they see a Western Diamondback Rattlesnake. Since the snake is tanner and smaller than its eastern equivalent, it blends in better with the scrub and sand. When it bites, it has large venom glands and unique fangs that allow it to deliver a large dose of venom. It’s also not particularly offensive in general, so don’t provoke it!
