  If I was a snake, I would prefer the movement of the reticulated python. It seems to be the least energy consuming (from the first look).

    I actually think the first motion, that's like a belt is probably the easiest. The Pythons wrapping seems to result in a point where it runs out of itself and has to regrip resulting it it lifting it's body the whole way up. But again. I'm not a snake Dr.
