The green tree python (Morelia viridis) is one of Papua New Guinea's most well known of snake species. Its range also extends to the western half of New Guinea, nearby Indonesian islands, and parts of Australia's Cape York Peninsula. It can be found in a variety of habitats including dry forest, swamp forest and cultivated areas, from sea level to 1,800 m elevation.
The green tree python is characterized by a relatively slim body. The species usually reaches a total length of 150-180 cm, but large females may reach 200 cm. The size also varies depending on the region of origin. Males can weigh about 1100-1400 g, females up to 1,600-1.800 g. Generally, they are a vibrant green in color but some adults are blue or yellow. They have a series of white or blue dorsal and/or lateral spots evident in most.
The diet consists mostly of small mammals, such as rodents, and sometimes reptiles and small birds.

De groene boompython (Morelia viridis) is een middelgrote slang uit de familie pythons (Pythonidae) die maximaal ongeveer 2 meter lang kan worden maar meestal kleiner blijft (circa 140 à 160 cm). De lichaamskleur is groen met gele of blauwe strepen en gele of witte vlekken. Mannetjes en vrouwtjes zijn lastig uit elkaar te houden. Vrouwtjes worden vaak wel langer.
De groene boompython komt voor in zuidoostelijk Azië; op en rond het eiland Nieuw-Guinea en de eilanden rond Nieuw-Guinea. Tenslotte in Australië in het noordelijkste puntje van de staat Queensland, genaamd Kaap York. De groene boompython leeft in tropische, warme en vochtige regenwouden die dichtbegroeid zijn. Het is een typische boombewoner die zelden de bodem betreedt. De groene boompython is te vinden van laaglanden tot een hoogte van 2000 meter boven
Door het gespierde lichaam, behendige grijpstaart en lange tanden is de python gespecialiseerd om vanuit een tak snel uit te halen naar een prooi. Hierbij wordt de staartpunt gebruikt als lokaas. Deze wordt heen- en weer gekronkeld waardoor prooien, als kleine zoogdieren, soms reptielen en kleine vogels, worden aangetrokken, en als ze dicht genoeg genaderd zijn slaat de slang bliksemsnel toe. De python is niet giftig en doodt zijn prooi door wurging.

I spent countless hours during my younger years watching first "Monty Python" the BBC tv show on PBS, buying their LP's and then never missing a movie. To this day random lines & songs will pop in to my head at odd moments. Spam, spam, spam.....lovely spam!

The FWC (Florida wildlife commission) Has used the exceptional snake hunting skills of Irula tribesmen from India to help in their invasive Python removal program. In their first 8 days, the Irula tribesmen, removed 13 Burmese Pythons from S.E. Florida!! !(Over 1,100 hits on Explore so far!)

Another approach to designing an origami Python logo. This model is folded from two separate sheets, which allows the snakes to be different colors and have color-change eyes using yet another color.

One of the "beasts" that guests had the opportunity to meet at the "Breakfast with the Beasts" program is a female Angolan python. She's an education animal who meets many humans at events and programs, though she's not on exhibit full-time.
Angolan pythons come from southwest Africa.
The African rock python is Africa’s largest snake, and the forth largest snake in the world.
The African rock python is a non-venomous snake with a thick, muscular body covered in smooth scales. Its coloration ranges from brown, chestnut, olive, to grey-green, with dark blotches forming a staircase-like or irregular stripe pattern on the back, fading to a lighter belly with black specks. Juveniles are more brightly marked than adults.
The head is triangular with a distinctive spearhead marking from the snout to above the eyes and a smaller inverted 'V' under each eye. Females are generally larger than males, with adults averaging (3 to 5 m) in length and (44 to 55 kg) in weight, though exceptional individuals can reach nearly (10 m) and over (135 kg).
This snake inhabit a wide range of environments across sub-Saharan Africa, including forests, savannas, wetlands, and areas near rivers and lakes. They avoid the driest deserts and the highest mountain elevations but can be found up to (2,300 m) above sea level.
Two subspecies exist, Python sebae sebae in northern and central Africa, and Python sebae natalensis in southern Africa. Their range spans countries such as Senegal, Ethiopia, Kenya, South Africa, and Angola, with some overlap in Kenya and northern Tanzania.
The snake does not perceive much with their eyes; instead, they rely on a complex network of sensory organs in and around the face. Their tongue is able to 'smell' the surrounding environment thanks to special receptors in the tissue. They also have a little organ above their nasal cavity called the vomeronasal organ that can detect pheromones in the air, useful in pinpointing the location of nervous or frightened prey. Finally, African rock pythons have heat-sensing pits in their scales that can help them locate both predators and prey. It works a little like infrared technology for snakes. The pits can detect heat patterns in the atmosphere around them,
These pythons are carnivorous constrictors, feeding on mammals, birds, and reptiles. Smaller individuals consume rodents and birds, while larger adults can prey on antelopes, warthogs, and even crocodiles. They kill by constriction. After gripping the prey, it coils around it, tightening its coils every time the victim breathes out. Death is thought to be caused by cardiac arrest rather than by asphyxiation or crushing. In March 2017, a 12 ft.10 in. (3.9 m) African rock python was filmed eating a large adult male spotted hyena weighing 150 lb. (70 kg). That encounter suggests that the snake might very well be capable of hunting and killing larger and more dangerous animals than previously thought. The largest ever recorded meal of any snake was when a (4.9 m) African Rock Python consumed a (59 kg) impala. They always swallow their prey head first.
Breeding occurs from November to March. Females lay eggs in protected sites such as tree hollows, burrows, or termite mounds, with clutch sizes ranging from 20 to 100 eggs, though 20 to 50 is more common. The eggs weigh between 4.5 to 5.9 oz. (). The female coils around the eggs for protection rather than thermoregulation. Eggs incubate for two to three months, and hatchlings are independent immediately, growing rapidly to about 4.6 ft. (1.4 m) in their first year.
African rock pythons live for around 20 to 30 years. According to the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research, the oldest African rock python in captivity was a female that lived for 27.3 years, but evidence suggests that they might live even longer in the wild.
African Rock Pythons are generally solitary and are most active at night, especially when attempting to hunt. However it’s common for them to bask in the sun in winter months to help with their thermoregulation.
Despite being non-venomous they can be dangerous due to their size and strength. Observing them safely requires caution, and binoculars or zoom cameras are recommended for wildlife enthusiasts.
They are threatened by habitat loss and collection for the pet and leather trades. While not currently classified as endangered, local populations may be at risk due to human activity.
African rock pythons are both prized and feared in African culture. The Luo people of Kenya generally consider snakes to be evil and believe that sorcerers make them harm people. They express a different attitude towards pythons and they worship the python, seen as a reincarnation of Omieri, Goddess of Harvest and linked with rain and fertility. In some parts of eastern Nigeria, particularly in the towns of Idemili in Anambra, the python is revered as a sacred symbol of the deity Eke Idemili.
