This python was found crossing the road during the cool dry season and we followed it to take pictures.

De pythons (Pythonidae) zijn een familie van slangen. De taxonomische status is niet helemaal duidelijk; pythons worden zowel als volwaardige familie gezien (Pythonidae), maar ook wel als onderfamilie (Pythoninae) van de familie boa's. Niet alle soorten slangen die python worden genoemd behoren tot deze groep, sommige soorten zandboa's (Ericinae) worden ook python genoemd.

 

Er zijn in totaal 35 soorten pythons, verdeeld over 8 geslachten. Veruit de bekendste soort is de netpython (Python reticulatus), die samen met de anaconda (Eunectes murinus) wedijvert om de titel 'langste slang ter wereld'. Pythons zijn wurgslangen en dus niet giftig, een aantal soorten is erg lenig en leeft in bomen. Het menu bestaat voornamelijk uit knaagdieren en andere zoogdieren, maar ook vogels en reptielen als hagedissen worden gegeten. Een aantal pythonsoorten wordt langer dan vijf meter.

 

Pythons hebben veel gemeen met boa's, maar er zijn ook verschillen, pythons produceren bijvoorbeeld eieren, terwijl vrijwel alle boa's eierlevendbarend zijn. Ook kennen pythons een vrij vergaande vorm van broedzorg; het vrouwtje legt haar eieren op een een hoop en kronkelt zich er vervolgens omheen. Het vrouwtje is in deze periode zeer agressief, en broedt de eitjes letterlijk uit. Omdat slangen koudbloedig zijn, kan ze dit niet met haar lichaamswarmte, maar door met het lichaam te 'rillen' (spiersamentrekkingen) stijgt de lichaamstemperatuur

Genus/species: Python reticulatus (Pythonidae)

 

GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS: Normally colored reticulated pythons have several pigments: melanin (blacks), and xanthins (yellows) amongst other more subtle colors. Lemondrop is a “lavender albino” which is the same thing as a “tyrosinase positive albino” (t-positive) which have the inability to complete the synthesis of melanin but can produce other melanin related pigments such as various shades of brown grey and red resulting the “lavender” color. A “normal albino” (t-negative) reticulated python is yellow and white with pink/red eyes. Melanin and other melanin pigments areas are pure white but non-melanin pigments are present giving alternate colors (xanthines produce yellows). To make matters more complicated different albino snakes may have mutations giving them additional color morphs.

Our albino American Alligator, (Claude) Alligator mississippiensis is a “normal albino” (t-negative) with no melanin or non-melanin pigments making him pure white. If you google “t-positive albino” or “tyrosinase positive albino” you can find a lot more information on this condition.

DISTRIBUTION/HABITAT: Myanmar and India, across Southeast Asia and on many of the islands of the Philippines and Indonesia.

Found on the ground, in caves or in trees and they have adapted to

living in towns and cities.

Python molurus is a large non-venomous python species found in many tropic and subtropic areas of Southern- and Souteast Asia.

 

It is known by the common names Indian python, black-tailed python, and Indian rock python.

 

This was near about 12ft (3.6 metres ) long...

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.

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 Regius

 

Non venimeux (aglyphe)

 

Répartition : Afrique de l'ouest, notamment au Ghana, au Togo et au Bénin

 

Taille adulte : 1.50 m

 

Biotope : savanes, forêts

 

Particularités et mode de vie : ce petit python était vénéré par certains peuples africains. C'est le python des rois. Timide, il se met en boule pour protéger sa tête. Massivement importé d'Afrique pour les amateurs débutants, il s'adapte pourtant très difficilement.

 

Régime alimentaire : rongeurs

 

Reproduction : espèce ovipare, 3 à 7 gros oeufs

Kevin : dedicated for you....ha ha..like your snake shot..cheers!

Benched in Southern California

A relatively slim body characterizes the green tree python. The long tail accounts for about 14% of the total length. The head is large and clearly defined from the neck.

 

Almost entirely living in trees, the Green tree python spends most of the day curled over the branches high in the trees with its head resting on its coils. These snakes use disruptive coloration, which is an excellent camouflage and effects near invisibility.

 

The green tree python lures its food by sitting very still on a branch and dangling its tail. Curious about the wiggling tail, the prey gets close enough for a strike.

Morelia amethistina. "The scrub python is the largest snake in Australia. It is also known as the amethystine python, in reference to the bluish iridescence of the scales. This python prefers to eat mammals and large specimens have been known to eat wallabies and tree kangaroos."
