I was at a reptile show and saw an African Rock Python. On the enclosure it said that African Rock Pythons are unique because instead of biting the prey on the face like most pythons, they bite behind the head or on the back of the neck. Why is that?
Thanks, LittlePlayer

What African Rock Pythons do is they strike past the prey and then tuck their head's under, grab's the prey, and pulls it in. The striking is the same as any other python or boa except for how they grab their prey.

And just like any constrictor and prey, the prey sometimes move and the snake sometimes misses.Thus not always behind the head.
