Python bivittatus
A young adult found on the crawl after a heavy thunderstorm in the Florida Everglades. At only a two to three years of age, pythons can exceed 6-7 feet in length and are as large as any native snake species as found within the region. Their growth rate and generalist diet makes them quickly able to outcompete native species and not get bothered by many predators. This snake was removed from the national park and turned into scientists with USGS where it will be humanely euthanized and necropsied.
I'm not a huge fan of snakes but the more I see them at the zoo and learn about them the less intimidating they become.
They are usually asleep or curled under something when I visit but I was lucky to see this huge olive python slithering around on a branch.
The area where the snakes are is also a hard to photograph area and I have never been happy with any of my shots in this area but this one I am happy with.
Also known as Brongersma's short-tailed python, or the Red Short-tailed Python
Location: Peninsular Malaysia
Length: 2.7-2.8 ft.
Toxicity: Non-venomous but quite bad bites (be careful).
The specific name, brongersmai, is in honor of Dutch herpetologist Leo Brongersma. This species is a sought after among exotic pet keepers, hence its location is always kept secret by scientists and herpers.
Behavior: P. brongersmai is a primarily crepuscular species – usually active around dawn and dusk.
Size/Length: Hatchlings of P. brongersmai range from 25–43 cm (10–17 in) in total length (including tail). Adult males typically range from 91–152 cm (36–60 in) in total length, and females between 120–180 cm (48–72 in) although a few have been recorded at 240 cm (96 in).
Reproduction: These snakes generally look overweight due to their robust structure. and reproduce biennially, producing 12 to 16 eggs (Shine et al. 1999). The species feeds on human rodents in oil palm plantations (Shine et al. 1999).
Morelia viridis, commonly known as the green tree python, or as it is known in the herpetoculture hobby, chondro is a species of python found in New Guinea, islands in Indonesia, and Cape York Peninsula in Australia
smooth feels wonderful to the touch.
Not slimey as some people think.
Beautiful patterns.
Beautiful colors.
the front end of the Python was attached to my arm.
I think he was about five ft long so only a little one.
Southern African rock python.
German: Südliche Felsenpython.
The approx. 2m (2.2 yd.) long constrictor is just as frightened as the two Zulu men.
Rock pythons can grow up to 5m (5.5 yd.) long. Habitat Southern Africa.

One of the least discussed repaints, but a surprisingly nice looking figure, albeit overpriced and pretty useless.
Wikipedia: The reticulated python (Malayopython reticulatus) is a species of snake in the family Pythonidae. The species is native to South Asia and Southeast Asia. It is the world's longest snake and listed as least concern on the IUCN Red List because of its wide distribution. In several range countries, it is hunted for its skin, for use in traditional medicine, and for sale as a pet. It is an excellent swimmer, has been reported far out at sea and has colonized many small islands within its range. It is among the three heaviest snakes. Like all pythons, it is a non-venomous constrictor. Adult people have been killed (and in at least two reported cases, eaten) by reticulated pythons.
This particular python was killed by my friend who lives a few blocks away from me. He raises prize chickens and some of them went missing. He caught it raiding the chicken coop one night. It was 3.1 meters (10' 2") long.

Python bivittatus
A young adult male found on the crawl on a brutally hot and humid morning in extreme south Florida. This snake was an unexpected surprise while checking a trap line for other invasive species and is only the second python I've seen this year.
One of my all time favourite photo models, a young Royal Python. Such a beautiful creature. Taken on a photo day with CaptiveLight in Bournemouth.
Morelia spilota bredli
Also known as Bredl's python, this is a very beautiful, rarely seen species that inhabits the central ranges of Australia. Finding this species was one of two special highlights amongst a host of amazing wildlife encounters I was lucky enough to have this passing wet season.

Watching this python resting below the surface of his pond; he gradually moved toward the surface and just poked his snout and eye above the surface... so fascinating and yet thankful there is a viewing glass in between us.

Liasis olivaceous
The largest snake I've seen in the Northern Territory so far - a big old Olive python that I'd guess was around 2.6m long.

Python molurus bivittatus
A young adult captured in the Everglades. This snake was in the six foot range and is like 1-2 years in age. Pythons put on size and weight quickly, which is part of why they've become such a problem in south Florida.
Indian Python
This Python was about 9 feet in length and it is still not fully grown.

die gelbe Schlange ist auch ein dunkler Tigerpython, jedoch ein Albino. Da ihm die Tarnfarbe fehlt, haben sie in der Natur keine Überlebungschance.
The Green Tree Pythons (Morelia viridis) are very comfortable on tree branches. They loop into a coil over a branch to form a saddle position. Then place their head in the middle for a bird's eye view of any rats passing below.
Apparently, due to this snake's popularity with herpetoculturist, their range has been extended from New Guinea, islands in Indonesia and Cape York Peninsula in Australia. Green Tree Pythons can now be found in the wild in Florida, U.S.A.
