Prey is killed by a process known as constriction; after an animal has been grasped to restrain it, a number of coils are hastily wrapped around it. Then, by applying and maintaining sufficient pressure to prevent it from inhaling, the prey eventually succumbs due to asphyxiation.

My friend Keiths huge burmese python, I'm struggling to stand under her weight but she is puppy dog tame!
@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
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!
We've finally got this thing the way we want it! The temperature is under control; and after struggling to find a successful method of keeping up the humidity inside the tank, we have finally found a balanced system that is working well.
The humidity has been a challenge due to the very dry air in SoCal. When we first set up the tank, we waited to see if the water dish that came with our snake kit would steadily evaporate and add moisture to the air inside of the tank. It didn't; too small. I was spritzing the tank with mist from a water bottle every few hours and that wasn't even enough. We replaced the water dish with a larger one and that didn't help either and I was still spritzing by hand. I added some moss around the water bowl to try to add moisture, but I left a small portion of the moss hanging in the water and it sucked a ton of water out of the bowl...and it flooded the bottom of the tank. Huge mess; no more moss.
Then we decided to buy a small $30 humidifier from CVS and we attached a tube to pump moisture up and into the tank from the bottom shelf of our table. That worked for a little while, but eventually water started to collect at the bottom of the tube, blocking the flow of mist. After discovering that the tube wasn't going to work, I placed the humidifier itself inside of the tank and turned it up as high as it would go. Still not enough. The tank is constantly trying to dry out and the tiny CVS humidity machine couldn't keep up. Finally, we broke down and bought a $60 reptile fogger from the pet store. And it's *working*! With the use of a timer, the fogger powers on and off keeping the tank between 50% and 75% humid. Perfect!
In the photo, the new humidifier (as well as the box that Mokiki stays in while he eats his meals) can be seen sitting on the bottom shelf underneath the tank. The tube that pumps moisture into the top of the tank is visible as well. There are two heat pads warming the tank: one on the side, which can be seen in the photo, and one on the bottom of the tank under the red heat lamp. The heat pad underneath the tank is hooked up with a dimmer switch which is left on the lowest setting possible for just a little bit of warmth on Mokiki's belly. The hot spot temperature under the red lamp is sitting nicely between 85° and 90° (dropping to about 83° at night). The other side of the tank stays around 80°-82° and drops to about 75° at night when the light is off for twelve hours.
Since first setting everything up, we've improved quite a bit. Good temp, good humidity, new cleaner bedding, extra hide spots for Mokiki to enjoy on both sides of the tank, and a little plant to add some color to the whole set-up. I think we've created a great habitat for our reptile friend, and he seems very happy in his home. We noticed that he enjoys climbing on the plant in the corner of the tank (mostly hidden by the heat pad in the photo), so I think we'll be getting something a little more sturdy for him to crawl on in the future. I'm very happy with how this is all coming along and I'm super excited to have this great pet!
Also, today was feeding day and I successfully fed him all by myself! I'm finally starting to feel like I know what I'm doing :]
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!

Autocar Heil Freedom Superlight Curotto can
Back in November, WMmaster626 and I went to Moreno Valley and found a truly one of a kind refuse truck, especially in SoCal! A Autocar Heil Freedom Superlight Curotto can, unfortunately we were not able to film it in November and often WMmaster626 and I would talk about the superlight and wanting to film it. So on 1/22/16 we went to Waste Managements Moreno Valley MRF, waited for the Superlight to arrive and followed it to Unincorporated Perris/Riverside. During our November visit we spoke to a real nice driver named Dave who has been with WM for 27 years. We talked to him for a while and eventually NEWCO Waste Systems got brought up and he talked about WM Moreno Valley getting some of their routes in 1999. Unincorporated Perris/Riverside is the area Dave must have been talking about. Many of the NEWCO carts WMmaster626 has filmed in Arcadia were in this area. There were NEWCO zarns, 96 gallon blue and black toters even black and blue Rehrigs and of course 96 gallon black Turn-Keys along with NEWCO dumpsters that were still blue with NEWCO logos on them. We also found a Heil Python on route that was fun to watch.
So between the Superlight, the Python and perhaps the biggest shock, a ex NEWCO route it was a great day full of surprises. Thank you WMmaster626 for coming and arranging today, Thank you John (Superlight) and Raul (Python), you are both very professional and efficient drivers. I would also like to Thank John Curotto and the Curotto staff who made this awesome carry can. AFL’s have always been my favorite refuse truck. I grew up with S.T.S. Autobuckets, Heil Autocans and of course Curotto cans, so thanks for making this amazing carry can!
Invented in 2009, the Superlight is a Curotto can that is lighter than the Slammin Eagle. The dumpter is primarily made of special high strength Kevlar fabric and weighs only 1,200 pounds (compared to a Slammin Eagle which is closer to 2,000 pounds).

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.
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.

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.
Auburn University researcher Christina Romagosa led a study in which detection dogs were used to find Burmese pythons in Everglades National Park in Florida.
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.
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.
