Python reticulatus, known as the reticulated python, is a species of python found in Southeast Asia. They are the world's longest snakes and longest reptile, but are not the most heavily built. Like all pythons, they are nonvenomous constrictors and normally not considered dangerous to humans. Although large specimens are powerful enough to kill an adult human, attacks are only occasionally reported.
An excellent swimmer, Python reticulatus has been reported far out at sea and has colonized many small islands within its range. The specific name, reticulatus, is Latin meaning "net-like", or reticulated, and is a reference to the complex color pattern.(Wikipedia)
Scorpion investigator visited Jatinegara wildlife market on Tuesday (8/09/2015) and found a man displaying snakes for sales. One python reticulatus was on sale at price IDR 350,000 (about US$25).
The beauty of its skin color always attracts attention of some Jakartans for pet animal.
