Chapter 3 : Cape Tribulation and the Daintree
During a cruise on the Daintree river. Apparently in the cruise before ours, these crocs were seens fighting each other in the middle of the river !
A Diamond Python or Carpet Snake. These snakes are becoming rare due to predation by Foxes and habitat loss.
Taking some photos, I noticed injuries caused by an unknown animal and realised that he needed some medical attention.
After some excellent co-operation between DELWP and Parks Victoria with assistance from James,Kerry, John, Tom, Wes and Mark, the snake is now on his way to the Vet for some TLC and will then be cared for by a local wildlife carer before being released back where he was found.
**Update**
The snake is now being cared for at Healesville Wildlife Sanctuary.
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.
Python molurus bivittatus (albino).
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 long, but may reach up to 5.7 metres. -- wiki
The snout a a Blood Python (Python curtis) emerges after roughly 60 days of incubation, though several of its clutchmates have already fully emerged.
A close inspection of the snout will show a miniscule sharp point, known as the egg tooth. The egg tooth is something that grows at the tip of the snout of many reptiles and birds to help the hatchlings slice their ways through embryonic membranes and egg shells. Since these snakes lay leathery-shelled eggs, the snakes produce slices with this egg tooth that will eventually allow the snakes to free themselves and begin life outside the egg. They will often spend their first several days after slicing through the shell with little more than their snout poking through as they absorb the last bits of yolk from the safety of the inside of the egg.

@charmcityreptile ID's this snake as an albino reticulated python (Python Reticulatus(thanks for the ID!). Retics are the longest snakes in the world, so this guy has a bit of growing yet to do!
Stop by any jewelry counter, snake jewelry is IN this year. The snake was very accustomed to riding her girl, and seemed to be having a great time! (it takes about 8psi, I've heard, applied directly to the blood vessels in the neck to cause unconsciousness.)

Found this cute python on the Road to corroboree billabong , Moved him off and then he was happy to pose for snaps. Was a little snappy himself
Indian python, also known as black-tailed python and Indian rock python is a large nonvenomous python. The species is limited to Southern Asia. It is generally lighter colored than the Burmese python and reaches usually over 9 feet in length.
Lethargic and slow moving even in its native habitat, they exhibit timidity and rarely try to attack even when attacked. They are very good swimmers and are quite at home in water.
These snakes are carnivore animals and they feed on mammals, birds and reptiles indiscriminately, but seem to prefer mammals. After a heavy meal, an individual may fast for weeks, the longest recorded duration being 2 years!
Hope you enjoyed!
