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.
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.
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.

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 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.
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.

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?
My hero dad releasing a python at Vision Falls. I loved watching it uncurl itself.
This one killed our lovely white chook.
We have more pythons coming out this year than we've noticed previously, could be due to the new chook pen.
Python Reticulatus
Non venimeux (aglyphe) mais potentiellement mortel pour l'homme par constriction
Répartition : sud-est de l'Asie
Taille adulte : plus de 8m, c'est le plus long serpent du monde
Biotope : il habite les forêts tropicales près de l'eau
Particularités et mode de vie : ce python extrêmement puissant est un grand prédateur. Il peut ingurgiter d'énormes proies mais peut aussi rester plus d'un an sans manger. Braconnés pour leur peau magnifique, les grands spécimens deviennent très rares dans la nature.
Régime alimentaire : gros mammifères, oiseaux
Reproduction : espèce ovipare, 30 à 100 oeufs couvés par la mère
