Bumped into this friendly albino granite colored Burmese Python at the Carolina Reptile & Exotic Animal Show today. He weighs in at 150 lbs and is 6 years old.
From Wikipedia:
The Burmese Python (Python molurus bivittatus) is the largest subspecies of the Indian Python and one of the 6 biggest snakes in the world, native to rain forest areas of Southeast Asia. They are often found near water and are sometimes semi-aquatic, but can also be found in trees.
The Burmese python is one of the largest of all snakes, growing up to 8 metres (25 feet) and weighing up to 180 kg (400 pounds). It continues to grow throughout life and the great length is due to the presence of a large number of vertebrae. Females are typically larger than males.
A Burmese Python at Serpent Safari Park in Gurnee, Illinois, USA holds the record for heaviest living snake. As of 2005, it weighs 182.76 kg (403 lb) at a length of 8.23 m (27 ft).
This beautiful specimen, came out one early morning near our house, I had to go to work, but wife and kiddo watched this guy for an hour or so, snaps are taken by her.
All coiled up, and in a slightly aggresive posture.

Over two months ago my single female ball python laid seven eggs without any interaction with a male python ever in her life. This is not very common, but known phenomenon in word of (some) reptiles (and some other groups of animals), called parthenogenesis. You can see her portrait with eggs here: www.flickr.com/photos/peterapas/51341593411/in/dateposted...
Unfortunately three eggs were undeveloped and I was able to put just 4 of them in incubator. Despite perfect condition, another three eggs 'died' on different stages of 60 days of incubation process. But one survived and two days ago this little baby hatched.
I had different species of reptiles for most of my live, successfully breeding many of them. But so far this was first parthenogenetic offspring ever produced by my animals. I hope that the little fella will shed skin around two weeks from now, then will eat his or her first meal and then... will stay with us, as we plan to add next ball python to our collection.
Na een verblijf van elf uur in de Efteling met de 3 kleinkinderen zijn de batterijtjes bij ons allemaal leeg . Wel een geslaagde dag !!
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.

my selection of photos of the beautiful Python Pool, tucked away in the Chichester Ranges, Pilbara, West Australia (taken soon after sunrise). The perfect reflection in the small pool of the two huge rock walls was stunning, creating quite an imposing and timeless image.
A huge Burmese Python in his enclosure in the Reptile House at Al Ain zoo. This is taken on my 2008 visit. There are Burmese pythons still in the zoo but this huge fellow seems to have disappeared. He has apparently just had his lunch, as his bulging midriff shows. The Burmese Python (Python molurus bivittatus) is the largest subspecies of the Indian Python and one of the six largest snakes in the world, native to a large variation of tropic and subtropic areas of Southern- and Southeast Asia. They are often found near water and are sometimes semi-aquatic, but can also be found in trees. Wild individuals average 3.7 metres (12 ft) long,[3][4] but may reach up to 5.74 metres (19 ft) (Al Ain, UAE, Aug. 2008)

How do you get me to stay an extra hour at the Green Living Show when I'm exhausted and I have a headache the size of the Direct Energy Centre? Give me a baby python. His name is Chocolate Chip.

Benin. West Africa.
Ouidah
In most parts of the world snakes are feared, but in Benin they are revered. Royal pythons are worshiped in Benin, especially in Ouidah. The good news is that royal pythons are not dangerous, but the bad news is that these sacred reptiles are welcome Beninese households where they are fed when the doors of the temple are opened at night. There is no fear when the locals welcome these slithering pythons into their living rooms like an honoured guest.
The Temple of Pythons is a small room of twelve square meters that houses 50 adult royal pythons.
Bear Creek Nature Center in Athens, GA. This is a 6-month old "baby" python. BTW, this is a 14 year old kid handling it for the public and explaining what it is.
This little (≈4m) snake sunned itself daily right beside the Lake Eacham carpark during our visit.
I've managed a to put in a fair few hours of night time hiking and photographing of wildlife this week. Today I was rewarded with this beautiful Water python. A wide ranging species in northern Australia, usually active at night, though I suspect with temperatures dropping we may see some more diurnal activity in the not too distant future as the winter sets in.
This is the first snake of this size that I have used my current flash setup with (previous have been smaller), so there are some kinks to iron out but, a nice Friday night highlight!

Python Lee Jackson, ‘In A Broken Dream’, 1972. The band came from Australia, settling in London in the late Sixties. John Peel spotted them and produced this song in 1969, with Rod Stewart as guest vocalist, (he was paid in car seat covers). Nothing happened until 1972 when Rod The Mod became a huge star. The song got released to cash in and made it to Number 3 in the UK charts. Result! A slow, moody, dramatic tune with shades of ‘Whiter Shade of Pale’; big bass, swirling organ and electric freak out guitar with Rod’s voice high in the mix.
The Burmese python (Python bivittatus) is one of the five largest species of snakes in the world (about the third-largest as measured either by length
or weight). It is native to a large variation of tropic and subtropic areas
of South and Southeast Asia.
They are often found near water and are sometimes semi-aquatic,
but can also be found in trees. Wild individuals average 3.7 m long,
but have been known to reach 5.74 m .
Burmese pythons are mainly nocturnal rainforest dwellers. When young, they are equally at home on the ground and in trees, but as they gain girth, they tend to restrict most of their movements to the ground. They are also excellent swimmers, being able to stay submerged for up to half an hour. Burmese pythons spend the majority of their time hidden in the underbrush.
Like all snakes, the Burmese python is carnivorous. Its diet consists
primarily of appropriately sized birds and mammals. The snake uses its
sharp rearward-pointing teeth to seize its prey, then wraps its body
around the prey, at the same time contracting its muscles, killing
the prey by constriction. It is often found near human habitation due
to the presence of rats, mice, and other vermin as a food source.
Burmese pythons are often sold as pets Although this species has a reputation for docility, they are very powerful animals, capable of inflicting severe bites or even killing a keeper by constriction.
The largest python in the world in captivity - allegedly. I now hear that the animal has died: www.philstar.com/news-feature/2013/08/15/1092281/prony-bo...
