Constrictor snakes usually are not aggressive and flee when confronted. They hunt for food but do not attempt to make a meal out of any creature that is too large to constrict.
Constrictor snakes hunt by grabbing prey with their mouths and then squeezing it with their powerful bodies.
Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, a constrictor snake must hit with its bite attack. It can then attempt to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity. If it wins the grapple check, it establishes a hold and can constrict.

Giant constrictor snakes are more aggressive than their smaller cousins, principally because they need a great amount of food to survive.

These creatures range widely in size. They are not particularly aggressive, but will often lash out with a bite attack before attempting to retreat.
Viper snakes rely on their venomous bite to kill prey and defend themselves.
Poison (Ex): A viper snake has a poisonous bite that deals initial and secondary damage of 1d6 Con. The save DC varies by the snake's size, as shown on the table below. The save DCs are Constitution-based.
