This lovely lady is a Stimsons Python Antaresia stimsoni. The Stimsons python is a relatively small python in comparison with other Australian python species.
The Stimsons natural distribution range would probably be the largest distribution range of any Australian python. Within this huge distribution range there are several recognized morphs. These morphs were probably the result of environmental differences e.g. habitat, prey and climate differences, over thousands of years.
Generally speaking the Stimsons python is well suited as a captive pet. The temperament of these pythons is quite placid and besides the odd exception they are normally amendable to handling.
This lovely lady Roxanne belongs to the neighbours across the road from my parents. Trev has had her for about 12 years now and in that time she has grown quite a bit!
This Carpet Snake ( Morelia spilota ) I saw slowly making its way across the road near home , its around 7-8 feet long give or take a bit , these creatures are docile and keep rodent numbers down and when larger ones like this are first seen they are confronting and best left alone .

"Shaggy," in this picture, is in molt and will shed his skin in a few days. Notice how his eyes are "opaque" indicating that the dead outer layer of skin scales are separating from the new scales underneath. Snakes do not have movable eyelids but rather a clear scale which covers their eyes like contact lenses. Because of the dry climate here, "Shaggy" needs more humidity and is soaking. This picture also illustrates how a six foot long snake can fit into a small area. It's what snakes evolved to do! "Shaggy" is a Jungle carpet python (Moreilia spilotes cheynei). Carpet pythons are native to Australia. Photo by Frank
This beautiful python was laying half in a water dish I have outside my house when I woke up the other morning. He stayed in there for a good hour before sliding off into the forest. I noticed he had a very thick tail with an injury - maybe hit by a car or even attacked by one of the many who have snake grudges. There are snakes everywhere at the moment with the heat we're having.
Pas vraiment rare autour et dans le parc de Khao Yai (nous en avons vu deux en moins de deux jours), les pythons viennent dans les grottes et grimpent sur les murs pour attraper les chauves-souris. (Parc national Khao Yai - Thaïlande)
Albino Pythons.

Insert Monty Python joke here. I used this flour on recommendation from the awesome book 52 Loaves by William Alexander. (Amazon Affiliate link)
