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...
Growing to lengths of 3 metres, the Woma Python has an orange head and a light tan coloured body with darker bands.
Habitat
The Woma Python inhabits South Western Queensland, Central Australia and parts of Western Australia. They will normally be seen residing in grasslands, shrubland and woodlands. They often take shelter in animal burrows where they will create a depression in the sand in which to shelter.
Diet
Primarily a reptile and mammal eater, the Woma Python on the left is hunting in a rock ledge for lizards or snakes. The Woma Python eats many species of Australia's most venomous snakes and is actually immune to venomous snake bites.
Breeding
Australia Zoo has always had a great reputation for breeding endangered reptiles and once again we have had the good fortune to have one of Australia's most endangered species of python lay eggs and not just one snake but two. In 2004 we had our first taste of success in breeding the elusive Woma python when we hatched out one snake, in 2005 we had no eggs but in 2006 the formula must have been right because not only did we get 11 eggs from one snake we also got a second clutch of eggs from another female. Steve and Terri are committed to saving this species of snake they have even purchased huge tracts of land on the Brigalow Belt in central Queensland which is prime woma habitat. Hopefully with the Zoo's breeding efforts along with the protected habitat that has been set up hopefully we can save this wonderful and unique species of python.
Status
The Brigalow form of Woma Python is in a lot of trouble! Land clearing and burning are the two major factors that are threatening the numbers of this snake in the wild. Australia Zoo is now the only facility in Australia to hold this form and we are extremely determined to breed and later release these snakes back into protected habitats. It would be absolutely devastating to lose this snake forever

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.
With her tender hug you will die in her arms slowly....sounds romantic?
Thanks guys for your time visit, catch up with you all soon, connection very poor lately, kinda bz too..have a nice day, cheers!
Kevin : dedicated for you....ha ha..like your snake shot..cheers!
When designing the Kammok® Python Straps™, we found inspiration from the python snake - known for its vice-like grip and excellent tree hugging capabilities. The Python Straps are 10 ft daisy-chain suspension systems that allow the adventurer to quickly and safely hang their Kammok Roo camping hammock (or other hammock) from any tree, rock, post, or anchor point capable of bearing their weight.
The Python Straps provide eighteen (18) points of connection on each strap, providing ultimate adjustability for the perfect hang. When attachment points are sparse, and distance matters, the Python Straps can safely suspend the user by anchor points that are over twenty (20) feet apart. Python Straps come in pairs (2 per set) and are packaged in their own water-resistant pouch. Reflective tracers are woven the length of the Python Straps so that they are very visible in low-light conditions.
The tree-hugging (and tree-friendly) Python Straps will allow the adventurer to kammok anywhere!

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.
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!

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.
