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!

A Diamond Python or Carpet Snake crossing the road on the way to work. These snakes are becoming rare due to predation by Foxes and habitat loss.
Taking some photos, I noticed some 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.
Species of python found in Southeast Asia; it is widely regarded as the world's longest snake and longest reptile; specimens as long as 6 meters and weighing 59 kg have been reported. This individual was about 3 meters long.

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.
This medium-sized python ambushed a young vervet as the troop were returning to their sleeping tree at dusk. I was alerted by the monkeys' alarm calls and found the python constricting the monkey.
Now it searches for the head to begin swallowing its prey.
Lanita Oceanne Soleil and Alfredo Guevara caught pythons during the Challenge with a team called the Swamp Apes. They are waiting for the awards ceremony.

Looking after Cuddles again, had her fer a few weeks now. While I had her out this afternoon she yawned, which was rather alarming. Not as sharp as I'd like but pics don't come easy with a camera in one hand and a snake in the other.
Python molurus
At just under ten feet, this adult male python was quite a handful while being removed from the Florida everglades. These large, powerful snakes are wreaking havoc on native wildlife, with an estimated population of over 100,000 individuals in south Florida.
Taken with the zoom wide open at f4, 1/60, camera handheld, available light, the difference with the alligator image is that the Python was in quick movement and there was a glass between the subject and the camera.

Baby Burmese python... I asked to hold one of the rock pythons and they let me hold this one... Didn't take her too long to try and take a chunk out of my hand... probably due to eating and playing with birds without washing my hands.. lol.
Halmahera Python - Simalia tracyae
Pythonidae
Weda reef and rainforest Resort, Halmahera island, Indonesia, 08/16/2015
The Reticulated Python (Python reticulatus), with a maximum recorded length of about 10m, is the longest existing snake species. However, this species is relatively slender and long, and therefore not the largest: the Green Anaconda can be roughly twice as heavy at the same length.
Attacks are rare, but the species has been responsible for several human fatalities in both the wild and captivity. This species of snake is one of the few that have documented, but not verified, cases of eating people.

A Stimson's python (Antaresia stimsoni) from the edge of the Simpson Desert! I usually find this species in habitats with more exfoliating rock, but this fellow was quite happily cruising over sand dunes.

(Morelia spilota)
This beautiful non-venomous python’s thick body has patterns which are blotchy yellow and black. This species of python is a very familiar face for locals who live near Australia Zoo. The Carpet Python is totally harmless despite its potential to reach lengths of up to 3.5 metres. It is usually active at night and spends most of the day coiled up in a tree or rafter, or stretched out basking in an open area.
Habitat
Carpet Pythons can be found in habitats ranging from tropical rainforest in the north-east of Australia to arid and coastal regions. Pythons from different habitats tend to have their own unique colouration. The species is currently divided into six distinct subspecies. The local subspecies that can be seen around Australia Zoo (pictured right) is Morelia spilota mcdowelli.
Diet
Carpet Pythons can normally be seen feeding after dark. They primarily eat mammals and birds, although smaller pythons prefer to eat lizards. Often encountered in suburban areas, you couldn’t find a better rat catcher. Like most pythons, the Carpet Python has heat sensitive pits on their upper and lower lips, which help them detect the body heat of their prey.
Breeding
Once the female Carpet Python lays her eggs, she will coil around her eggs, occasionally shivering to maintain temperatures at an optimum level for embryo development (approximately 30 degrees celcius).
