A closer look at the African Python coiled up on a tree. The African Rock Python is widely feared due to it's large size, even though it very rarely kills humans. The snake is in fact poached by humans for it's meat and it's skin. However there has been the rare occasion of an African Rock Python swallowing a human, like a school boy in South Africa who was swallowed by a python in 2002 while his friends watched terrified from the tree which they climbed to take shelter and an infant in Kenya circa 2012 when his mother left him on the doorstep and went into the house for a short while.

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.
Python molurus bivittatus
This snake was really quite large. Also from the Lizards Alive! show at the Natural History Museum.
I love snakes, but this is the first time I've shot for skin texture. This particular snake was just massive. Wish I could remember which of the larger python species it is.
Indian python, also known as black-tailed python and Indian rock python is a large nonvenomous python. The species is limited to Southern Asia. It is generally lighter colored than the Burmese python and reaches usually over 9 feet in length.
Lethargic and slow moving even in its native habitat, they exhibit timidity and rarely try to attack even when attacked. They are very good swimmers and are quite at home in water.
These snakes are carnivore animals and they feed on mammals, birds and reptiles indiscriminately, but seem to prefer mammals. After a heavy meal, an individual may fast for weeks, the longest recorded duration being 2 years!
Hope you enjoyed!

Today (3 June 2011) we had another sighting of our friend the Coastal carpet python (Morelia spilota sub sp. mcdowelli) in the pandanus palm at the back of the laundry.
My hairier half, Warwick, was downstairs and he heard the frantic noise the birds make when the pythons are in the poinciana tree, and came across this chap coming down from there via the ‘dick tree’ (our nickname for pandanus palms – it’s a long story!).
I decided on a montage as I thought it was the best way to show him – and also helped to hide the blown highlights in the full stretch photo – it’s hard to get a python from head to tail when he is along a branch! You can just see a bit of tail curl on the lower right of that shot. And I loved the detail one of his underside, something we don’t often see.
So after annoying him for a few minutes we left him in peace to go and have a bask in the sun.

I made this cake today and when my daughter walked into the kitchen and saw it, she nearly jumped out of her skin. Inside is a Dark Chocolate Cherry Ripe Mud Cake filled with dark chocolate ganache!
I was very sad to hear last week that Terry Jones had died. I have been obsessed with Monty Python since my early teens.In 1985 and '86 I spent some time in England and made sure I visited The Pythons' office in London. The office staff were very laid back and friendly,offering me a cup of tea and allowing me to wander around and photograph everything,(although they did wander near me,muttering,"You're mad.") The Whizzo boxes were displayed on a window sill as decor. They were made by one of the secretaries and used in the Hollywood Bowl shows.
