Comme je n'avais pas noté le nom des espèces photographiées ce jour là, je suis dans le doute mais c'est peut-être un python de Seba.
Millstream National Park, Western Australia. Traditionally an Aboriginal "Women's Place", now able to be visited by all.
The ball python or python regius is a nonvenomous python species found in Africa. This is the smallest of the African pythons and is popular in the pet trade, largely due to its typically docile temperament. No subspecies are currently recognized.
The name ball python refers to the animal's tendency to curl into a ball when stressed or frightened. The color pattern is typically black or dark brown with light brown or gold sides and dorsal blotches. The belly is a white or cream that may include scattered black markings.
This python is known for being a picky eater and may not eat for months, particularly during the winter breeding season. Ball pythons will not eat when they preparing to shed.

Benin. West Africa.
Ouidah
In most parts of the world snakes are feared, but in Benin they are revered. Royal pythons are worshiped in Benin, especially in Ouidah. The good news is that royal pythons are not dangerous, but the bad news is that these sacred reptiles are welcome Beninese households where they are fed when the doors of the temple are opened at night. There is no fear when the locals welcome these slithering pythons into their living rooms like an honoured guest.
The Temple of Pythons is a small room of twelve square meters that houses 50 adult royal pythons.
