    Whereas species like King snakes or Retics strike at an object ( mouse or rat or whatever) ?

    Yes pythons (and vipers) have thermal senses in their face. Most all snake eyes are evolved too see moving objects. A very still animal is more difficult to see, the slightest movement though and they are targeting!!!

    this..... I can literally dangle a rats head in front of my albino BP’s face and he will grab it by the tail with a wild strike out of left field. It’s frustrating but at least he never refuses a meal.
