Timor Python
Timor python is a fairly long, relatively thin python species occurring in Southeast Asia. Like all pythons, it is a non-venomous constrictor. The species is nocturnal, crepuscular and fast moving. Currently, there are no recognized subspecies of this species. Like other python species, it possesses a series of heat-sensing pits located between the nostril and the mouth used to search warm-blooded prey in complete darkness. It is regarded as the most nervous of all pythons.
