I don't remember what kind of python this was. It might be a Jungle Carpet Python. Anyone who knows better, please feel free let me know in the comments.

Our ball python. I think it's a she, and I think she's about a year, but it's hard to say as we picked her up at a local pet store as opposed to a breeder - which we will never do again, as this poor girl came with an awful mite infestation that took months of patience and care to be rid of. She's doing awesome now though, and is really quickly getting up to size! I'll be getting her (?) sexed in the near future.

Juvenile Reticulated Python from Bali

Skansen, Stockholm, 26th May 2007

 

The Green Tree Python is a species of tree-dwelling python native to New Guinea, various islands in Indonesia, and the northern tip of Eastern Australia (Cape York Peninsula). It also grows to about 6 ft. Green Tree Pythons also have a particular way of resting in the branches of trees, as seen below they loop a coil or two over the branches in a saddle position and place their head in the middle.

Snake stretching out!

It really contracts into a small ball! Then, you see this....

Python molurus bivittatus

 

March, 2012. Everglades National Park, Florida,

 

An adult Burmese Python attempts to cross a road in the Everglades. This snake had been clipped by a car and was struggling to make it across the road. This invasive species has wreaked havoc on southern Florida ecosystems and wildlife and in turn has caused drastic declines in some mammal populations. Adults can reach in excess of 15 feet in length and can weigh over 150 pounds, although this individual was between 7-8 feet in length. Continuing efforts are being made to control the spread of the Burmese Python in the Everglades, but it seems to be an uphill battle.

At the Live n Deadly Roadshow, Cwmbran

Species of python found in Southeast Asia; it is widely regarded as the world's longest snake and longest reptile; specimens as long as 6 meters and weighing 59 kg have been reported. This individual was about 3 meters long.

 

The "reticulated" net-like patterning of it's scales gives the reticulated python its name.

 

Python Eating Breakfast - Yummy

This was in a big case outside the Python exhibit at the San Diego Zoo. I did some post processing to highlight all the bones and the spine. Snakes don't scare me, our children had them as pets in the past.

 

There's a photo below of a snake much like the one this skeleton came from. Be sure to see it because I think he's quite beautiful. Also at the San Diego Zoo and a very big snake!

A much younger version of the heavy shoulder buddy

De Python is een attractie in de Efteling. De Python werd geopend op 12 april 1981 en was destijds de langste achtbaan op het Europese vasteland. De Python heeft bovendien 4 inversies (twee loopings en twee kurkentrekkers), wat voor 1981 spectaculair was.

 

De beide treinen, oorspronkelijk geleverd door de firma Vekoma uit Vlodrop (Limburg), zijn in 2005 vervangen door treintjes van de uit het faillissement van Vekoma doorgestarte firma Kumbak Coasters. Vanaf seizoen 2006 rijden de treintjes met nieuwe beugels. Tevens is de sticker met slangenprint vervangen door spuitwerk en is er een staart toegevoegd.

 

De Python is een van de bekendste en meest bezochte attracties van de Efteling.

Another photographer found this Olive Python on one of the ledges in Circular Pool. It was very hard to photograph, I had to bump the ISO to 800 to get anywhere near enough shutter speed, while hand-holding and manual focussing. I ended up using a nearby stick as an improvised monopod. Shot wide open to maximise shutterspeed.

The Burmese python (Python bivittatus) is one of the five largest species of snakes in the world (about the third-largest as measured either by length

or weight). It is native to a large variation of tropic and subtropic areas

of South and Southeast Asia.

 

They are often found near water and are sometimes semi-aquatic,

but can also be found in trees. Wild individuals average 3.7 m long,

but have been known to reach 5.74 m .

 

Burmese pythons are mainly nocturnal rainforest dwellers. When young, they are equally at home on the ground and in trees, but as they gain girth, they tend to restrict most of their movements to the ground. They are also excellent swimmers, being able to stay submerged for up to half an hour. Burmese pythons spend the majority of their time hidden in the underbrush.

 

Like all snakes, the Burmese python is carnivorous. Its diet consists

primarily of appropriately sized birds and mammals. The snake uses its

sharp rearward-pointing teeth to seize its prey, then wraps its body

around the prey, at the same time contracting its muscles, killing

the prey by constriction. It is often found near human habitation due

to the presence of rats, mice, and other vermin as a food source.

 

Burmese pythons are often sold as pets Although this species has a reputation for docility, they are very powerful animals, capable of inflicting severe bites or even killing a keeper by constriction.

And what would a snake show be without a giant python being brought out so all the idiotic tourists can have their photo taken with the beast hung around their shoulders?

Part design work, part welding practice this was an attempt at a centre-steered python style bicycle.
