I don't know about Pythons but there is a black snake in Africa (a black 
mamba?) that when it stands up is taller than a man. This snake can out 
"run" a man in straight line or over rough ground. I saw a TV program 
where they'd attached a camera to its head. Absolutely incredible 
watching this thing whizzing through the undergrowth in search of a 
mate. Don't think all snakes are slow - they aren't.

BTW. The suggestions - I like them, for what little that is worth.
