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 !
The Python was my first roller coaster, I rode it with my dad during a vacation in the mid 80s. Dad bought me a t-shirt that said "I CHALLENGED THE MIGHTY PYTHON!"
The last time I visited Busch Gardens was 2002, and as I was about to board it was shut down for weather. I stuck around as long as I could to ride it again before our group had to leave but never got onboard. It was removed in 2006. At least I have a postcard!
Just received my extension tubes from DealExtreme. As I can't afford a true macro lens for a few hundred dollars, this is a steal at $9. Made a few test shots with all tubes and the 50 1.8, lookin' good.

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.
@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.)

Python molurus bivittatus
An adult found crossing the road in Everglades National Park. This animal was captured and removed from the park under a permit.
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 "reticulated" net-like patterning of it's scales gives the reticulated python its name.

My friend Keiths huge burmese python, I'm struggling to stand under her weight but she is puppy dog tame!

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.
Port Appin, Argyll, Scotland (United Kingdom).
The name 'Stalker' comes from the Gaelic Stalcaire, meaning 'hunter' or 'falconer'. In recent times the castle was brought to fame by the Monty Python team, appearing in their film Monty Python and the Holy Grail. It also appeared in the film Highlander: Endgame. The Castle's almost exaggeratedly picturesque appearance, with its island setting against a backdrop of mountains, has made it a favourite subject for post-cards and calenders, and something of a cliché image of Scottish Highland scenery. It should be noted, however, that Stalker's appearance is entirely authentic, and it is one of the best-preserved medieval tower-houses surviving in western Scotland.
The site is similar to the prehistoric crannogs, but the official web-site history page gives the origin of the castle as being a small fort built around 1320 by Clan MacDougall who were then Lords of Lorn. Around 1388 the Stewarts took over the Lordship of Lorn, and it is believed that they built the castle in its present form around the 1440s. The web-site tells a dramatic story of arguments, murders, hunting visits by the Stewart's relative King James IV of Scotland and a drunken bet around 1620 resulting in the castle passing to Clan Campbell. After changing hands between these clans a couple of times the Campbells finally abandoned the castle around 1840, when it lost its roof. Then in 1908 a Stewart bought the castle and carried out basic conservation work, and in 1965 Lt. Col. D. R. Stewart Allward acquired the castle and over about ten years fully restored it.
