This seemed like a nice idea to build. Also has some playability rather than just driving it along.
Here is an article about the real thing
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.

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.

De pythons (Pythonidae) zijn een familie van slangen. De taxonomische status is niet helemaal duidelijk; pythons worden zowel als volwaardige familie gezien (Pythonidae), maar ook wel als onderfamilie (Pythoninae) van de familie boa's. Niet alle soorten slangen die python worden genoemd behoren tot deze groep, sommige soorten zandboa's (Ericinae) worden ook python genoemd.
Er zijn in totaal 35 soorten pythons, verdeeld over 8 geslachten. Veruit de bekendste soort is de netpython (Python reticulatus), die samen met de anaconda (Eunectes murinus) wedijvert om de titel 'langste slang ter wereld'. Pythons zijn wurgslangen en dus niet giftig, een aantal soorten is erg lenig en leeft in bomen. Het menu bestaat voornamelijk uit knaagdieren en andere zoogdieren, maar ook vogels en reptielen als hagedissen worden gegeten. Een aantal pythonsoorten wordt langer dan vijf meter.
Pythons hebben veel gemeen met boa's, maar er zijn ook verschillen, pythons produceren bijvoorbeeld eieren, terwijl vrijwel alle boa's eierlevendbarend zijn. Ook kennen pythons een vrij vergaande vorm van broedzorg; het vrouwtje legt haar eieren op een een hoop en kronkelt zich er vervolgens omheen. Het vrouwtje is in deze periode zeer agressief, en broedt de eitjes letterlijk uit. Omdat slangen koudbloedig zijn, kan ze dit niet met haar lichaamswarmte, maar door met het lichaam te 'rillen' (spiersamentrekkingen) stijgt de lichaamstemperatuur
Genus/species: Python reticulatus (Pythonidae)
GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS: Normally colored reticulated pythons have several pigments: melanin (blacks), and xanthins (yellows) amongst other more subtle colors. Lemondrop is a “lavender albino” which is the same thing as a “tyrosinase positive albino” (t-positive) which have the inability to complete the synthesis of melanin but can produce other melanin related pigments such as various shades of brown grey and red resulting the “lavender” color. A “normal albino” (t-negative) reticulated python is yellow and white with pink/red eyes. Melanin and other melanin pigments areas are pure white but non-melanin pigments are present giving alternate colors (xanthines produce yellows). To make matters more complicated different albino snakes may have mutations giving them additional color morphs.
Our albino American Alligator, (Claude) Alligator mississippiensis is a “normal albino” (t-negative) with no melanin or non-melanin pigments making him pure white. If you google “t-positive albino” or “tyrosinase positive albino” you can find a lot more information on this condition.

DISTRIBUTION/HABITAT: Myanmar and India, across Southeast Asia and on many of the islands of the Philippines and Indonesia.
Found on the ground, in caves or in trees and they have adapted to
living in towns and cities.

Python molurus is a large non-venomous python species found in many tropic and subtropic areas of Southern- and Souteast Asia.
It is known by the common names Indian python, black-tailed python, and Indian rock python.
This was near about 12ft (3.6 metres ) long...
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

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.
