Water Python

This water python was happy to be handled by the kids once they were convinced it wasn't a yellow-bellied black snake (a taipan found in Australia with the most toxic venom in the world).

 

Referred to by indigenous tribes as a 'Rainbow Serpent' due to the myriad of colours its skin reflects when placed in sunlight.
