The visitors were booked at the Phinda Zuka Lodge in KZN and watched the reptile move around in disdain as they kept their distance. They gasped and tracked the snakes’ every move carefully before going back into the house.

Pythons are non-venomous, which means they do not spread poisonous fluids after biting a human or animal. They are known to be one of the largest reptiles, with teeth big enough to fork large animals like domestic animals.
