Burmese python - NONVENOMOUS
NONNATIVE - Constrictor
Officer Dave Weis with Burmese python caught off Alligator Alley FWC photo by David Bingham
My two big burmese pythons shortly before I took them to my brother to take care of...last time I saw them alive. I was in the Navy at the time and was getting deployed and he agreed to watch them while I was gone, it didn't work out very well.
A little about the two snakes, the larger one I bought from a pet store very cheap since they got it from someone who caught it 'wild' in San Diego and it had bit several store employees. It was already eight feet long at this time so it was leaving 1/4inch teeth embedded when it was pried off. I took it home and it took about a year to get it tame enough to hold safely as long as it was nowhere near it's cage. I used to leave it in the living room where it would crawl under the cushions on the back of the couch leading to a scaley surprise when one sat down. It never once tried to bite me or anyone else while out of the cage, while in it's cage however it was mean and nasty, trying to bite even through the screen on the side.
The smaller snake was only a year old when I took this photo and was already eight feet long. I found they will eat far more than once a week or so, like every day. Both of them ate five pigeons and many rats a week and got testy if I slacked off on that routine.

A Woma Python from central Australia. This beautiful python from the central sandy desert of Australia is unfortunately an endangered species.
Python example of a serial output from the Lego Mindstorms. The baud rate is 115200. I would use this hub to exchange data with my Fischertechnik system. This way I can send out commands from the Lego as well as vice versa from Fischertechnik. Examples of this will follow later to make both systems work together.

TAXONOMY
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Subphylum: Vertebrata
Class: Reptilia
Order: Squamata (scaled reptiles, all lizards and snakes)
Suborder: Serpentes
Family: Boidae
Genus/species: Python reticulatus
GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS Largest species of python. The giant South American Anaconda may grow heavier ( 29 feet long & 550 pounds), but the longest snake in the world is the reticulated pythons (33 feet). Normally colored reticulated pythons have several pigments: melanin (blacks), and xanthins (yellows) amongst other more subtle colors. Lemondrop is a “lavender albino” which is the same thing as a “tyrosinase positive albino” (t-positive) which have the inability to complete the synthesis of melanin but can produce other melanin related pigments such as various shades of brown grey and red resulting the “lavender” color. A “normal albino” (t-negative) reticulated python is yellow and white with pink/red eyes. Melanin and other melanin pigments areas are pure white but non-melanin pigments are present giving alternate colors (xanthines produce yellows). To make matters more complicated different albino snakes may have mutations giving them additional color morphs.
Our albino American Alligator, (Claude) Alligator mississippiensis is a “normal albino” (t-negative) with no melanin or non-melanin pigments making him pure white. If you google “t-positive albino” or “tyrosinase positive albino” you can find more information on this condition. (Albino Appearance Ref. Nicole Chaney Biologist II, California Academy of Sciences for basic albino information).
DISTRIBUTION/HABITAT Reticulated pythons can be found throughout Southeast Asia. Their range includes the Nicobar Islands, Burma through Indochina, and Borneo, Sulawesi, Ceram and Timor in the Malay archipelago. Found in steamy tropical rainforests near small rivers or ponds in tropical environments.
DIET IN THE WILD P. reticulatus is strictly carnivorous typically feeding on birds and mammals. This diet extends however to dogs, large deer, pigs and very rarely humans. Usually ambush predators, waiting in trees for unsuspecting prey. They use their 100 curved teeth to capture their prey by biting then holding prey and they kill by wrapping around them and squeezing them until the prey is unable to breath and its heart is unable to pump blood swallowing them whole. The entire animal is digested in the snake’s stomach except for fur or feathers, which are passed with the snakes waste.
REPRODUCTION Lays 25-80 eggs and guards nest but not hatched young.
REMARKS They are heavily sold for their skin and meat. Also tourists visiting these areas often buy materials made from these snakes.
The largest P. reticulatus ever caught was 33 feet long in 1912 in Indonesia. The largest in captivity was from Thailand reaching a length of 28½ feet long with a girth of 37.5 inches and weighed apron. 320 pounds..
This specimen aboveis a male, 14.5 ft long 60 lbs, 6 yrs old (6-22-12).

Saw this last Sunday. The policemen will try to catch the python and release it in the woods far away. I think the python is about 2m long.

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.

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.
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.
