Boidae (Pythons): The Pythons feature heat pits in the scales either side of the lower jaw (except Woma). They have pelvic spurs either side of the anal vent which are the remains of what were once legs. They have sharp rear curving teeth and are non-venomous.
The Diamond python is the only species found on the south coast of NSW.
