Indian python, also known as black-tailed python and Indian rock python is a large nonvenomous python. The species is limited to Southern Asia. It is generally lighter colored than the Burmese python and reaches usually over 9 feet in length.
Lethargic and slow moving even in its native habitat, they exhibit timidity and rarely try to attack even when attacked. They are very good swimmers and are quite at home in water.
These snakes are carnivore animals and they feed on mammals, birds and reptiles indiscriminately, but seem to prefer mammals. After a heavy meal, an individual may fast for weeks, the longest recorded duration being 2 years!
Hope you enjoyed!

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.
The Burmese python is a large nonvenomous constrictor and is considered an invasive species in Florida. Native to India and China, it tends to occupy areas near water. Burmese pythons have been reported in extreme south Florida since the 1980s, and most reports have been from south of Lake Okeechobee to Key Largo and from western Broward County over to the Naples area, however most have been found in and around the Everglades in south Florida. Due to its wide diet, and its placement as a top predator where it lives, it represents a threat to native fish and wildlife. Because of perceived human health and safety threat of large constrictor snakes, this species also has potential social and economic impacts despite the few documented injuries or attacks on humans in the wild.
Python Regius

Répartition : Afrique de l'ouest, notamment au Ghana, au Togo et au Bénin

Miami-Dade., FL: After a cool night (44F low) this 7 foot Burmese Python was found coiled in a grass clump at the edge of a wetland, with an exposed coil containing a recent food bolus. Cold fronts during 2009 and 2010 have been seen as a stressor on Everglades National Park python populations.
When designing the Kammok® Python Straps™, we found inspiration from the python snake - known for its vice-like grip and excellent tree hugging capabilities. The Python Straps are 10 ft daisy-chain suspension systems that allow the adventurer to quickly and safely hang their Kammok Roo camping hammock (or other hammock) from any tree, rock, post, or anchor point capable of bearing their weight.
The Python Straps provide eighteen (18) points of connection on each strap, providing ultimate adjustability for the perfect hang. When attachment points are sparse, and distance matters, the Python Straps can safely suspend the user by anchor points that are over twenty (20) feet apart. Python Straps come in pairs (2 per set) and are packaged in their own water-resistant pouch. Reflective tracers are woven the length of the Python Straps so that they are very visible in low-light conditions.
The tree-hugging (and tree-friendly) Python Straps will allow the adventurer to kammok anywhere!

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.

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.

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.
Morelia amethistina. "The scrub python is the largest snake in Australia. It is also known as the amethystine python, in reference to the bluish iridescence of the scales. This python prefers to eat mammals and large specimens have been known to eat wallabies and tree kangaroos."

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.
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.
