National Geographic photographer and Nikon Ambassador Roger Strandli Brendhagen returned to Bergen during the city's most popular annual photography exhibition to redo his triumph from last time: Nikon Walk of Macro, taking interested Nikon photographers (and a few others too) from all over Bergen to Akvariet to make sure all the reptiles and amphibians there won't be able to see for the next few months.
With the photographers armed with macro lenses and flashes of all shapes and sizes, from 60mm to 200mm, from speedlights to ray flashes to dedicated macro flashes, the poor reptiles never knew what hit 'em. For me, this meant a welcome reencounter with my friend from last time, Mr. Python Regius. Though using the same lens as before, this time it was actually my own. =P
This time too there was a competition, and the best picture will be awarded a Nikkor 60mm ED AF-S Micro. This is my contribution, hope I'm in better luck this time! =)
Update: I was in a bit more luck this time, actually - this photo won the competition! =D
I believe this is quite a rare shot, actually - of the couple of hours we spent there, the snake almost never did anything like this. I was lucky to have my finger ready at the trigger AND the snake in focus when it happened. Lucky shot, indeed!
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.

This fella had a big belly filled with probably a rat and was getting no where fast.
This snake went about 6 foot in length.
Aprox 12 month ealier one was filmed eating a juvenile wallaby whole about 4 doors down from where this one was photographed. ( My old back fence )
This is "Julius Squeezer" - Burmese Python
Julius is quite large, about 12 feet long and 65 pounds, according to his handlers. It takes three people to carry him safely. He is an animal ambassador at the SDZ Safari Park.
The Burmese python is one of the five largest snakes in the world, native to a large variation of tropic and sub-tropic areas of Southern- and Southeast Asia.
They are often found near water and are sometimes semi-aquatic, but can also be found in trees. They are also excellent swimmers, being able to stay submerged for up to half an hour.
Burmese pythons are carnivorous. Their diet consists primarily of appropriately sized birds, mammals
and vermin. IUCN has recently listed the Burmese python as "Vulnerable". Wikipedia

No, we are not talking the programming language here. This reptile has just had its lunch and decided to take a nap just beside the wall.
Python regius is a nonvenomous python species found in Africa. This is the smallest of the African pythons and is popular in the pet trade, largely due to its typically docile temperament. No subspecies are currently recognized
Blood Pythons may look intimidating, but they are popular pets with people who like to have something unusual, though obviously some expertise is needed to keep such an animal and they should only be kept after very careful consideration.
In the wild they survive mainly on small rodents such as mice and rats.
