My brother, Jack Levine, holds a small pied ball python in his hands. The especially polite creature was being sold by the ball python breeder vendor, SMS Morphs. I cropped a bit off the top so that the snake and hands became the main focus of the image, then lowered the exposure and brought out the whites and shadows.

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!
Some stuff I got in the post early this week from the nice people at O'Reilly's. They know how to make us geeks happy, well, I am anyway. I'll be bringing these along to the Python Ireland meetup. Books to be raffled, rest is first-come, first-serve. :)
Not sure of the variety of python. I took the picture because of the iridescent coloring on the scales. The photo doesn't do the rainbow of colors justice.
