Pythons are a group of nonvenomous snakes found in Africa, Asia and Australia.[1]

In 1991 Dudley Dursley with his friend Piers Polkiss wanted to see big, man-crushing pythons in the Zoo, while Harry Potter walked up to boa constrictor's tank, and unknowingly using Parselmouth, communicated with it.[2]
