This beautiful carpet python visited our garden today. Photography has made me much braver than I used to be!

Close up of my first encounter with a reticulated python during a night walk through a forest in Singapore.

Lors de la Grande Fête de la Nature, sur les Plaines d'Abraham, Québec, le 16 mai 2010, l'Association herpétologique de Québec était présente et j'ai pu l'admirer et surmonter ma crainte des reptiles en l'approchant d'assez près, hésitant même à le caresser.

=========================

First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin, then shallt thou count to three, no more no less.

Three shall be the number you shalt count and the number of counting shalt be three.

Four shant you not count, neither count thou two, exepting that thou proceed to three. Five is right out.

Found with head protruding out of a roadside drain on the driveway in torrential rain. Cairns FNQ. 2 metre sub-adult male.

The Royal Python is also known as Ball Python as they tend to curl into a ball when they are stressed. They are a non-venomous species and the smallest of the African pythons although they still reach a maximum length of 182 cm (72 in). Apparently they are very popular pet snakes.

I took this photo at our zoo.

Darwin Carpet Python (Morelia spilota variegata)

Thank you for your comments

Darwin Carpet Python (Morelia spilota variegata)

I haven't been out looking for snakes since February, it's good to be back!

De rode Pythonbrug, in Amsterdam-Oost, die het Borneo-eiland met Sporenburg verbindt. Onder de brug door zie je het Zeeburgereiland en Schellingwoude.

These snakes look threatening but they are no problem around the the house if outside . This guy is looking to have a drink , I think or just sensing the scene .

Children's python (Antaresia childreni) from the Katherine region, was a lot more orange tinged than the ones I usually see in Darwin.

I usually try not to post two of the same type of animal in a row, but I haven't seen anything else too interesting lately unfortunately.

We chanced upon a Carpet Python while on the way down after our guided night tour to see the Glow Worms at Tamborine Mountain, Australia.

As it might seem, the python was on the road making its way across to the other side, totally ignorant of the peril situation it was facing. Therefore we decided to use abit of our time, to help the python to cross by using the torchlight from our handphone to alert the oncoming vehicles to stop momentarily for the snake to reach the other side.

Adorable juvenile.

I haven't been out looking for wildlife much recently, but this feisty individual is a nice start to 2022!

One of my personal favourite models from my recent photography day with CaptiveLight in Bournemouth. This Royal python is only a youngster and really beautiful.

Smallest of the carpet python subspecies, adult Darwin Carpet python's average around 2m long.

I haven't been out much due to the COVID-19 pandemic, so here's an alternative shot from earlier this year.

I prefer the patterned shot from above [LINK] but I love is position and that there's a mosquito for scale in this photo.

A nice little top down view to show off their cool markings.

Black-headed Python (Aspidites melanocephalus)

First one I've ever seen in the wild, and now finally checked off my list. Extremely shiny heads, I don't know how people get good shots of them, but I did my best haha.

Shot @ 3.2.

I love my Yashica..

yep... who dares wins...

No no.

I think that green python exactly knows who's the boss.

Or maybe he just doesn't like french cuisine...

Or...

what do you think?
