This species is often difficult to photograph due to its glossiness and high contrast, I'm very happy with this result.

A green python at Australian Reptile Park near Gosford, New South Wales. A gorgeous fellow who had no qualms being photographed!
Morelia viridis
Juvenile - Cape York Peninsula, Australia.
The last series of images I posted of 'Bothrops punctatus' from Ecuador show the ontogenetic colour change that the species undergoes from birth through to adulthood. This is another species that exhibits ontogenetic colour change, from bright yellow (as in B. punctatus) or brick red as young through to emerald green as adults. With a possible trip up north in the pipeline, sleeplessness overcame me last night and I just had to process this image from my last excursion into their habitat..

Native to Australia and nearby islands, the carpet python is a non-venomous snake. Even so, handled without training or supervision, the python can become really dangerous.
Though it doesn't have any fangs or venom, what it does have is a set of around 100 small, sharp teeth which can cause substantial needle-like lacerations.
Without venom, carpet python primarily uses constriction to kill their pray. Or the intruder.

Widespread across arid Australia, the Stimson's Python attains a maximum size of one metre and preys mainly upon small mammals, reptiles and frogs.
They are very abundant in the rocky escarpments of central Australia, which continues to boast healthy populations of small mammals - going against the trend from the majority of current Australian eco-systems.
Time is swift and we're having another featherless Sunday. Today I bring you a rare snake called the Labyrinth Python. It is not found in the wild but is a product of crossbreeding different species of Pythons. This specimen is owned by an acquaintance and he acquired it from a breeder in Florida.

It's Saturday night and these Python Patrol Troopers are stuck on guard duty.
They're officially called Officers, but this figure is one of my favorite Cobra trooper varieties. And one of my favorite army builders, period.
Individuals of this species have proved to be indisputably the longest snake in the world. Unlike it's rival for the record, the South American anaconda, this tropical Asian monster is active amongst trees.
The python is still persecuted by man for it's skin and few live long enough to reach their maximum potential size.
Reticulated pythons are able to take prey as large as deer or pigs and, very rarely people.
Der Tigerpython (Python molurus) ist eine Schlangenart aus der Familie der Pythons (Pythonidae) und wird dort in die Gattung der Eigentlichen Pythons (Python) gestellt. Zwei Unterarten werden anerkannt, für die neuerdings auch Artstatus diskutiert wird: Der Helle Tigerpython (Python molurus molurus) und der Dunkle Tigerpython (P. m. bivittatus). Die dunkle Unterart gehört mit gesicherten Längen über fünf Meter zu den größten Schlangen der Welt. Das Verbreitungsgebiet umfasst weite Teile der Tropen und Subtropen Süd- und Südostasiens. Die Art bewohnt dort ein weites Spektrum bewaldeter Habitate in nicht zu großer Entfernung von Gewässern und zumindest gelegentlich auch Randbereiche menschlicher Siedlungen. Seit einigen Jahrzehnten hat sich außerdem eine durch illegale Auswilderungen begründete Population in Florida etabliert.
Die Nahrung besteht je nach Größe der Pythons aus kleinen bis mittelgroßen, sehr selten auch großen Wirbeltieren bis hin zu halbwüchsigen Schweinshirschen und erwachsenen Leoparden. Tigerpythons sind wie alle Arten der Gattung Python eierlegend (ovipar) und gehören zu den Arten, bei denen die Weibchen die Bebrütungstemperatur durch Muskelzittern deutlich erhöhen können. Der Tigerpython wird aufgrund seiner Gefährdung durch direkte Verfolgung und Habitatzerstörung von der IUCN als Art der Vorwarnliste („near threatened“) geführt.
Aren't those scales beautiful! Seeing this snake was a really cool experience, i can wait a bit in regards to seeing another venomous snake haha but when it comes to pythons i would be more than happy to see another one in the wild... as long as i spot it from a distance and not right near my feet!
In the pond!!! never seen anything like it. He was certainly alive with his head sticking out. Seemed quite comfortable
