The Micro Python variant of Python 3 is a from-scratch reimplementation of the language in C, not simply a port of the original CPython implementation of Python.

Black-headed pythons, like other python species, are non-venomous, and kill their prey by coiling around it to suffocate it, and then swallowing it whole. Snake cannibalism is not unheard of.

The python was spotted by Wooleen Station owners Frances and David Pollock during a tour of their land on Wajarri Yamatji Country, around 300km north-east of Geraldton in WA's Murchison region.
