And here is the non venomous Green Tree Python. I'd photographed in identical beast, the Emeral Tree Boa in the Ocean Park in Hong Kong in 2012, except that that animal was a boa (giving birth to live young) while this sucker here is a python. (egg laying or viviparous). Like all boas and pythons, the Green Tree Python is a constictor, meaning it squeezes its prey to death. It is capable of catching birds in mid flight by launching himself at them if they fly close enough. It otherwise eats rodents, lizards and small mammals. (Georgetown, Penang, Malaysia, Nov. 2013)

Frederic, Lord Leighton, 1877
This is the earlier of Frederic Leighton’s only two life-size sculptures, both made with the assistance of Thomas Brock. In subject and scale it was intended as a challenge to one of the greatest classical sculptures, The Laocoön, which shows three men being crushed by sea serpents. Frederic Leighton was a pioneer of what became known as the ‘New Sculpture’ movement in Britain. This fresh approach looked back to classical sculpture while focusing on the naturalism of the body through careful modelling of the surface. This coincided with a revival of interest in bronze, the lost wax technique used here allowing for precision in the treatment of form.

Because I had to use noise reduction software that has wiped out EXIF info, I'll post it here.

The python is named Pachiappan D'Souza and he is the official lab mascot. This is Ashok, the non-pointy-haired Pointy-haired-boss who hates his office email so much that he is willing to set up a dual monitor and push his email window to the one on the left. The Rhino above has an interesting story. Ashok once ordered his Assamese team member Pranjit to bring back the powdered horn of the Indian one-horned Rhinoceros lest he screw his appraisal to the depths of hell. The team member, visibly shaken at the sheer difficulty of persuading a Rhino in the wild to give up his horn, decided to buy a wooden rhino model for his boss instead, and hoping that his future in the company was not jeopardized seriously due to the lack of rhino horn procurement. The boss forgave him verbally, but still plans to screw his appraisal when the time comes.
Waiting to be returned into the jungle. it was found and captured in the house of one of the staff, we think it was a reticulated python.
My father & brother relocated this beautiful python from a neighbors yard to the forest near vision falls, at Lake Eacham.
This is one of a few photos of this snake in our back yard the other day. She was around a good 3 metres long biggest one I've seen .

I have been to most of the public cliff-dwellings; Gila has the largest cavern I've seen as a single room; it's fracking HUGE!
They say not very many people lived here, and not for very long (+- 30 years). I say BS!, this has the markings of a very ancient place..
