Are pythons immune to snake venom?
No, they are not.
A king cobra (the longest venomous snake in the world) tried to catch and eat this reticulated python (grows into the longest snake in the world) and was coiled and strangled by the python and died in the process. Both were dead when found.
The king met his match...
When cobras strike, they target the base of their victims' heads, then kill them by injecting a toxic cocktail that quickly shuts down the nervous system and paralyzes the victim. They can cope with most snakes they encounter.
Bitten on the back of its head by the cobra and suffering from the hooded snake's deadly venom, the python tried to save its life by squeezing its attacker. It was successful. They use their muscles to strangle their meals, which usually consist of mammals - other snakes don't.
But not one was saved.
Note* It is not clear how often these types of apex snake conflicts occur in the wild. Although we cannot be certain whether this fight to the death was a natural encounter or forced upon the snakes, whatever the trigger, the sequence of events seems clear. The cobra tried to bite off a bit more than it could swallow. Given the enormous size of the adult python, it did exactly what pythons do: coiled around it and strangled the attacker to death.
Finally, the power of a python is no match for the venom of a cobra. It will kill the python very quickly, probably both within 30 minutes.
