Pythons are integral to the Vodun religion (linked to Voodoo in Louisiana and Caribbean) with the deity of Rainbow Serpent Dan, who was intermediary between the people and snakes.
The pythons emerged from the jungle to protect the king of Ouidah when under attack...there is a temple of the snakes in Ouidah.
