dc.description.abstractPythonids are fascinating extant reptiles comprising exclusively non-venomous Old-World taxa and including some of the largest known snakes (Murphy and Henderson, 1997). Being thermophilous reptiles, they are distributed in tropical and sub-tropical areas in sub-Saharan Africa, southern and southeastern Asia, Philippines, Indonesia, New Guinea, and Australia (Schleip and O’Shea, 2010; Wallach et al., 2014; Head, 2015).

dc.description.sponsorshipThe Paalar excavations were carried out on behalf of the T.C. Ministry of Culture and Tourism, Directorate of Antiquities, and the University of Ankara, Faculty of Language, History and Geography. Excavations were funded by the Directorate of Antiquities. We (G.L.G., S.M., G.G., A.S.) particularly thank B.A. for inviting us to work with her on the Paalar material. G.L.G. acknowledges support from a postdoctoral grant from the University of Turin. Access to comparative skeletal material of various extinct and extant snakes was made possible through grants SYNTHESYS ES-TAF-5910 (MNCN), SYNTHESYS AT-TAF-5911 (NHMW), SYNTHESYS HU-TAF-6145 (HNHM), and SYNTHESYS GB-TAF-6591 (NHMUK) to G.L.G., and the respective curators (M. Calvo-Revuelta, H. Grillitsch and S. Schweiger, J. Voros, and S. Chapman) are highly thanked here. S.M. was supported by international bilateral research of TUBITAK-RFBR 111Y192, Ege University Research Projects 2015/FEN/170, TTM/001/2016, and TTM/002/2016 during his visits to Paalar locality. The quality of the manuscript was improved by useful comments made by the editor, J. Head, and the two reviewers, A. Schmaltz Hsiou and an anonymous one.en_US
