A Borneo Short-tailed Python at the Mendoza Serpentarium, Argentina. The colorful skin has made it a target for poaching.
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 Pythonidae, commonly known simply as pythons, are a family of non-venomous snakes found in Africa, Asia and Australia. Among its members are some of the largest snakes in the world. Eight genera and 26 species are currently recognized. Found in subsaharan Africa, peninsular India, Myanmar, southern China, Southeast Asia and from the Philippines southeast through Indonesia to New Guinea and Australia. In the United States an introduced population of Burmese pythons, Python molurus bivittatus, has existed as an invasive species in the Everglades National Park since the late 1990s
Most members of this family are ambush predators, in that they typically remain motionless in a camouflaged position and then strike suddenly at passing prey. They will generally not attack humans unless startled or provoked, although females protecting their eggs can be aggressive. Large adult specimens can kill people. Unsuspecting children can and have been preyed upon and swallowed whole after being suffocated. Reports of attacks on human beings were once more common in South and Southeast Asia, but are now quite rare.

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
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 Python was crossing the road between old Laura Homestead and Laura near Lakefield National Park in North Queensland. It was being harassed by a couple of Magpies. This species is also found in Papua New Guinea and the islands off the top of Australia. This species varies a lot in pattern and colour. I first thought that it was an Amethystine. Thanks Aaron for identifying it as Carpet.

“The 2 icons of 20th century’s Danish furniture design: the “Valet” chair of Hans Wegner and the “Ant” chair of Arne Jacobsen are staying on the retina….What will happen if we crossbreed them? How will their child look like?” This question KOMPLOT Design /Boris Berlin and Poul Christiansen, Denmark/ asked themselves and related it to often faced situation when visiting a restaurant, we miss a good chair-back on which to hang our jacket without it falling on the floor or being crumpled.
PYTHON is a 21st century chair for cafes and restaurants, Internet cafes as well as for reception-rooms with a chair back that holds your jacket like a coat-hanger without it falling on the floor or beeing crumped
PYTHON’s special construction with enlarged thickness in the curve gives very high strenght to the chair making it suitable for regular usage in public spaces
PYTHON collection includes three chairs - PYTHON, PYT and stackable PYT bar chair. PYT has the same shape and construction but without the high back. It suits very well together with PYTHON and allows you to play with forms and colours in the interior. Both - PYTHON and PYT - are offered also with upholstered seat pad
PYTHON collection is available in different natural wood veneers - birch, beech, maple, cherry, walnut, oak, zebrano, wenge. It comes clear lacquered or in wide range of stained finish as well as covered with matted white or black melamine
PYTHON, PYT and PYT bar is stackable up to 8 pieces
Tested according to DIN EN 1728, DIN EN 13761, DIN 68 878 for contractual use in LGA Qualitest GmbH Furniture Test Institute.
De Python is een attractie in de Efteling. De Python werd geopend op 12 april 1981 en was destijds de langste achtbaan op het Europese vasteland. De Python heeft bovendien 4 inversies (twee loopings en twee kurkentrekkers), wat voor 1981 spectaculair was.
De beide treinen, oorspronkelijk geleverd door de firma Vekoma uit Vlodrop (Limburg), zijn in 2005 vervangen door treintjes van de uit het faillissement van Vekoma doorgestarte firma Kumbak Coasters. Vanaf seizoen 2006 rijden de treintjes met nieuwe beugels. Tevens is de sticker met slangenprint vervangen door spuitwerk en is er een staart toegevoegd.
De Python is een van de bekendste en meest bezochte attracties van de Efteling.

My house is like a bloody zoo! I heard a loud thud from above at about 8.30pm and went outside to find this enormous carpet python had slipped off the roof, down the verandah and landed in the gutter of the house. The split second after I took this photo the snake dislocated its jaws and continued to open them by 180 degrees in what looked like a massive yawn (or perhaps a friendly warning). In the following second that it took to recharge the flash, I'd missed a very special shot. I spat the dummy and did the kick yourself dance for quite a while. I can only imagine what it must be like to sit, perched in a tree, for 3 months, waiting for the pivotal moment in the life cycle of some endangered species and then miss the shot completely!
The rock python is Africa's largest snake and one of the more likely species to be seen on safari. It is known to reach lenghts of 5-6m (3 times as long as a person),Non-venomous, pythons kill their prey by strangulation, wrapping theirr muscularr bodies around victimuntil it can no longer breath, then swallowing it whole and dozing off for a couple of months whicle the protected digestive proscesses kick in. pythons feed mainly on small antelopes, large rodents and similar prey. They are harmless to adult humans, but could conceivably kill a small child.(source:East Africa Wildlife)
This is a very large specimen we only partially glimpsed on the forest floor just off the track to Crystal Falls, that is a fly on its back. The snake was moving uphill surprisingly quickly so I followed it through the fern understory while dodging low-growing stinging trees. Shutter and ISO are a little high due to the low light levels and hand held shooting at 400 mm. This body section is probably around 15 cm in diameter, overall length at least 3 metres.
This would be Morelia spilota mcdowelli, a subspecies of Morelia spilota, commonly known as the carpet python, and is informally named the Eastern, Coastal or McDowell's Carpet python. Although Wells & Wellington (1984) is somewhat 'controversial' (taxonomic vandalism apparently). blogs.scientificamerican.com/tetrapod-zoology/taxonomic-v...
They are active by day or night (nocturnal and diurnal) feeding mainly on possums, rats, flying foxes and birds, and occasionally poultry, domestic cats and small dogs. Attempts at eating cane toads are fatal. They lay up to ~35 eggs and sometimes exhibit unpredictable and aggressive behavior. Bites are not venomous, but can cause lacerations. Tetanus protection is recommended.
