The '''reticulated python''' ('''''Malayopython reticulatus''''') is a [[Pythonidae|python]] species native to [[South Asia|South]] and [[Southeast Asia]]. It is the world's [[List of largest snakes|longest snake]], and the [[list of largest snakes|third heaviest snake]]. It is a non-venomous [[Constriction|constrictor]] and an excellent swimmer that has been reported far out at sea. It has colonized many small islands within its range. Because of its wide distribution, it is listed as [[least concern]] on the [[IUCN Red List]]. In several countries in its range, it is hunted for its skin, for use in [[traditional medicine]], and for sale as [[pets]]. Due to this, it is one of the most economically important reptiles worldwide. In very rare cases, reticulated pythons killed and swallowed adult humans.
