Certainly not a high quality image, but I was surprised to see this small, attractive, non-venomous snake in a glass case in the Queensland Museum, on a visit with my grandchildren, so I took an iPhoto shot. There were two of these live pythons in a display with arboreal insects.
These reptiles are native to parts of Papua Nuigini, Indonesia and Cape York Peninsula in far north Queensland. They have a very distinctive method of arranging themselves on a tree branch, they loop a coil or two over the branches in a saddle position and place their head in the middle.

Sometimes you have to look down when passing along the double loop corkscrew rollercoaster Python to see its beauty from a different perspective. Photo taken on one of the magnificent evenings in De Efteling during the Negen Pleinen Festijn when the park is open till 23h00. This photo is taken 4 minutes after closing time while walking back to the exit. Another beautiful day in De Efteling went by.
Python
Python is a double-loop Corkscrew roller coaster in the Efteling amusement park in the Netherlands. When it started operation, it was the largest steel roller coaster on the European mainland.
With Python, Efteling started the implementation of a new strategy: development from a fairy-tale forest into an all-round amusement park. This change led to many problems with the local community. Environmentalists tried to get the building permit withdrawn, and the park's neighbors feared more problems arising from growing visitor numbers. Because of the likely noise pollution, the highest court of public justice ordered the construction to be stopped. After some time, construction could recommence, but legal problems continued for several more years.
In 2005 the trains were replaced by Kumbak Coasters designed by Karel Willemen and in December 2011 with Vekoma MK1212 trains. In mid January 2012, the python was fitted with new carriages. These new cars have a new set of restraints which accommodate the needs of riders large and small. There is a flexible over the shoulder strap which is not unlike those on accelerator coasters such as Kingda ka but slightly thicker. Over these are metal bars for riders to hold on to and to give support to the under straps. Also, the cars have been fitted with wheels that allow a smoother ride.

A large adult Reticulated Python, Malayopython reticulatus, observed foraging along a rain forest creek, Tioman Island, Malaysia.
This 18-foot Burmese python was caught in Everglades Francis S. Taylor WMA by one of our Python Removal Contractors. During cooler months, people are more likely to see pythons during the day. Report sightings to the Exotic Species Hotline (888-IVE-GOT1), on www.IveGot1.org, or using the IveGot1 app.

The ball python or 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.
The name ball python refers to the animal's tendency to curl into a ball when stressed or frightened. The color pattern is typically black or dark brown with light brown or gold sides and dorsal blotches. The belly is a white or cream that may include scattered black markings.
This python is known for being a picky eater and may not eat for months, particularly during the winter breeding season. Ball pythons will not eat when they preparing to shed.

I need to blog about this. This photo includes:
* A Raspberry Pi with a T-Cobbler
* A 20x4 LCD display with negative RGB backlight (currently hard-wired to purple)
Put together, this is a Raspberry Pi running a Python script that uses 3 GPIO pins to control 16 outputs.
Driving the LCD itself is a a dirty, dirty hack that fools some code from Adafruit into thinking it's talking directly to GPIO pins, when really it's talking to my shift registers.
It's that last part which made me bounce in my chair - because I don't quite yet understand how to talk to the LCD display, yet my hack worked the first time. (Albeit very, very slowly.) \o/
In the near future, I want to figure out how to control the red / blue / green backlight pins from the Raspberry Pi, in order to change colors on the display.

A Reticulated Python tastes the air with its tongue, while exploring its enclosure at the Toronto Zoo.
The Reticulated Python (Python reticulatus) is a species of python found in Southeast Asia. It is widely regarded as the world's longest snake and longest reptile, but is not the most heavily built (although it is among the four heaviest). Like all pythons, it is a nonvenomous constrictor and normally not considered dangerous to humans. Although large specimens are powerful enough to kill an adult human, attacks are only occasionally reported.
This Python was sunning itself on the dirt road before rapidly doing a 180° turn and disappearing into the scrub. I was able to take a reasonably accurate measurement and it was 3.5 - 4.0m long or about 11.5 - 13.0 ft.. At its widest part its diameter was about 15 cm (6 in.), possibly slightly larger. At this size it would be a female.
I went through the series again and found this one to my surprise in focus (unlike so many others from this shooting - a moving line is simply not the best AF-target !)
I'm sure nobody will believe me but gravity simply doesn't work on Oz Pythons!
ED based WAG-7 loco -27489 in helm of a BCNA rake is coupled to another BOXN rake for forming a python rake (SER mentions it as tiger rake) from Bondamunda (BNDM) yard to release two freight rakes in the same time slot !!
Bondamunda (BNDM) under Chakradharpur (CKP) division of South Eastern Railway (SER) zone forms two python daily and release them towards Bhilai (BIA) yard !! The maximum permissible speed (MPS) of these python rakes (also known as tiger rakes in SER zone) is 60 kilometer per hour in both SER and SECR zone !!
This is the first python rake formed and released from Bondamunda (SER) freight yard towards Bhilai (BIA) under South East Central Railway (SECR) zone !! This python rake is formed with twin BNDM based WAG-7 hauled 58 BOXN rake and a caboose followed by solo ED based WAG-7 hauled 42 BCNA rake and a caboose !!

The Python is undergoing a full renovation between January and March 2018. After about 36 years it was time to renovate this famous roller coaster. Perhaps one of the first roller coasters in Europe that was considered cultural heritage. The last ride was made on the 5th of January and the demolition started on Monday 8th January. After one week more than half of the tracks were dismantled.
The new Python (lets call it Python verson 2.0) is sheduled to re-open the last week of March or early April.
At this stage on 13/02/2018 the first corkscrew is already back and two days later the second. It's going fast during these days.

Chesterfield Canal, Shireoaks
The historic narrowboat Python, now owned and operated by the Chesterfield Canal Trust, was built in 1929 for Fellows, Morton & Clayton Ltd by W J Yarwoods & Son of Northwich and was fitted out at Uxbridge. Commissioned in February 1930, her fleet number was 249 and her registration number was UXB 572. She was built on the same works number as her sister boat Panther, which is now owned by the Coventry Canal Society. Python also used to be the motor to the butty Fazeley, which is now fully restored. Of coppered steel construction, she was originally built as a 70' vessel with a Josher bow* and fitted with a Bolinder 5 hp engine. Python was used as a carrier in the Fellows Morton & Clayton fleet until 1949 when she was sold to the British Transport Commission (later to become British Waterways Board) and passed into the South Eastern Division carrying fleet. In 1960 she was given a major overhaul and fitted with a new engine, and in 1974 became part of British Waterways' maintenance fleet when she was subsequently shortened to 53' in 1982 and her cabin rebuilt to the current format of rear engine room, crew cabin and forward store. But with the introduction of more modern, purpose built vessels she was soon to become redundant and fell into disuse for a number of years. After a lengthy period of neglect Python was handed over to the Chesterfield Canal Trust in 2009 who have a team of volunteers dedicated to ensuring her care and maintenance as a promotional vessel for the work of the Trust. Python is currently decked out as a tug and repainted in British Waterways' blue and yellow colours. She is also registered on the National Historic Ships register.
Josher Bow
A distinctive bow design named after Joshua Fellows of Fellows, Morton & Clayton. The long, slender bow with its double curvature became a specified company style, almost a trademark. Some replica narrowboat designs incorporate false rivets to simulate the construction method used on the original vessels.
