(Morelia spilota)
This beautiful non-venomous python’s thick body has patterns which are blotchy yellow and black. This species of python is a very familiar face for locals who live near Australia Zoo. The Carpet Python is totally harmless despite its potential to reach lengths of up to 3.5 metres. It is usually active at night and spends most of the day coiled up in a tree or rafter, or stretched out basking in an open area.
Habitat
Carpet Pythons can be found in habitats ranging from tropical rainforest in the north-east of Australia to arid and coastal regions. Pythons from different habitats tend to have their own unique colouration. The species is currently divided into six distinct subspecies. The local subspecies that can be seen around Australia Zoo (pictured right) is Morelia spilota mcdowelli.
Diet
Carpet Pythons can normally be seen feeding after dark. They primarily eat mammals and birds, although smaller pythons prefer to eat lizards. Often encountered in suburban areas, you couldn’t find a better rat catcher. Like most pythons, the Carpet Python has heat sensitive pits on their upper and lower lips, which help them detect the body heat of their prey.
Breeding
Once the female Carpet Python lays her eggs, she will coil around her eggs, occasionally shivering to maintain temperatures at an optimum level for embryo development (approximately 30 degrees celcius).

“The 2 icons of 20th century’s Danish furniture design: the “Valet” chair of Hans Wegner and the “Ant” chair of Arne Jacobsen are staying on the retina….What will happen if we crossbreed them? How will their child look like?” This question KOMPLOT Design /Boris Berlin and Poul Christiansen, Denmark/ asked themselves and related it to often faced situation when visiting a restaurant, we miss a good chair-back on which to hang our jacket without it falling on the floor or being crumpled.
PYTHON is a 21st century chair for cafes and restaurants, Internet cafes as well as for reception-rooms with a chair back that holds your jacket like a coat-hanger without it falling on the floor or beeing crumped
PYTHON’s special construction with enlarged thickness in the curve gives very high strenght to the chair making it suitable for regular usage in public spaces
PYTHON collection includes three chairs - PYTHON, PYT and stackable PYT bar chair. PYT has the same shape and construction but without the high back. It suits very well together with PYTHON and allows you to play with forms and colours in the interior. Both - PYTHON and PYT - are offered also with upholstered seat pad
PYTHON collection is available in different natural wood veneers - birch, beech, maple, cherry, walnut, oak, zebrano, wenge. It comes clear lacquered or in wide range of stained finish as well as covered with matted white or black melamine
PYTHON, PYT and PYT bar is stackable up to 8 pieces

The most arboreal of the pythons, the green tree python rests in a coil on a tree branch with its head hanging down, ready to strike at prey. It may also attract prey by imitating a worm as it wiggles the tip of its tail. The python has especially long front teeth to catch and grasp prey. After constricting its prey, the python swallows it whole.
White-lipped pythons, one of the most iridescent species of python, are found throughout New Guinea and some of the surrounding islands. These pythons are a medium sized snake and adults range between 6-9 feet. The white-lipped python, secretive and usually a terrestrial snake, can be found in the thick vegetation of rain forests. One of the most iridescent species of python with a medium size, slender, round body. It feeds on small mammals (mainly rats and lizards) and birds. Prey is constricted until it is dead then it is swallowed head first.

In 1981 Colt introduced the Python Hunter, made about 2000 of them. In 1983 introduced the Python Silhoutte, only info I could find was that they made about 200, maybe 500 of them, I am going to send to Colt for the letter and find out how many were made. The Hunter and the Silhouette were both custom shop guns, came with the Leoplod scopes with the Leopold / Colt emblem on the scope. The serial number on mine indicates that it was made in 1981, but they weren't out even introduced till 1983. I believe from some research that Colt would take blocks of serial numbered guns from a year into the Custom Shop, and sometimes they were not even built till years later. The only difference between them was the scroll marks on the barrels and the case they came in.
Found that they are selling for about $4000, sometimes in less condition as mine with case and so forth.
Trying to find one for sale? Good luck. You MIGHT see a Hunter for sale online OCCASIONALLY.
A relatively slim body characterizes the green tree python. The long tail accounts for about 14% of the total length. The head is large and clearly defined from the neck.
Almost entirely living in trees, the Green tree python spends most of the day curled over the branches high in the trees with its head resting on its coils. These snakes use disruptive coloration, which is an excellent camouflage and effects near invisibility.
The green tree python lures its food by sitting very still on a branch and dangling its tail. Curious about the wiggling tail, the prey gets close enough for a strike.

13 foot Super Tiger Reticulated Python
Growing to lengths of 3 metres, the Woma Python has an orange head and a light tan coloured body with darker bands.
Habitat
The Woma Python inhabits South Western Queensland, Central Australia and parts of Western Australia. They will normally be seen residing in grasslands, shrubland and woodlands. They often take shelter in animal burrows where they will create a depression in the sand in which to shelter.
Diet
Primarily a reptile and mammal eater, the Woma Python on the left is hunting in a rock ledge for lizards or snakes. The Woma Python eats many species of Australia's most venomous snakes and is actually immune to venomous snake bites.
Breeding
Australia Zoo has always had a great reputation for breeding endangered reptiles and once again we have had the good fortune to have one of Australia's most endangered species of python lay eggs and not just one snake but two. In 2004 we had our first taste of success in breeding the elusive Woma python when we hatched out one snake, in 2005 we had no eggs but in 2006 the formula must have been right because not only did we get 11 eggs from one snake we also got a second clutch of eggs from another female. Steve and Terri are committed to saving this species of snake they have even purchased huge tracts of land on the Brigalow Belt in central Queensland which is prime woma habitat. Hopefully with the Zoo's breeding efforts along with the protected habitat that has been set up hopefully we can save this wonderful and unique species of python.
Status
The Brigalow form of Woma Python is in a lot of trouble! Land clearing and burning are the two major factors that are threatening the numbers of this snake in the wild. Australia Zoo is now the only facility in Australia to hold this form and we are extremely determined to breed and later release these snakes back into protected habitats. It would be absolutely devastating to lose this snake forever
