Type of constrictor seen in "Snakes on a Plane" (6)

I believe the answer is:

python

(Other definitions for python that I've seen before include "Boa relative" , "Large non-venomous snake" , "Large snake that crushes and swallows its prey" , "Large snake that kills prey by crushing" , "Large tropical snake that crushes its prey" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post.
