And what would a snake show be without a giant python being brought out so all the idiotic tourists can have their photo taken with the beast hung around their shoulders?
Python molurus bivittatus
March, 2012. Everglades National Park, Florida,
An adult Burmese Python attempts to cross a road in the Everglades. This snake had been clipped by a car and was struggling to make it across the road. This invasive species has wreaked havoc on southern Florida ecosystems and wildlife and in turn has caused drastic declines in some mammal populations. Adults can reach in excess of 15 feet in length and can weigh over 150 pounds, although this individual was between 7-8 feet in length. Continuing efforts are being made to control the spread of the Burmese Python in the Everglades, but it seems to be an uphill battle.
Part design work, part welding practice this was an attempt at a centre-steered python style bicycle.
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.
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.
Another photographer found this Olive Python on one of the ledges in Circular Pool. It was very hard to photograph, I had to bump the ISO to 800 to get anywhere near enough shutter speed, while hand-holding and manual focussing. I ended up using a nearby stick as an improvised monopod. Shot wide open to maximise shutterspeed.

(Morelia spilota spilota).
found this one bathing in the afternoon sun across a bush trail,
A friend and myself spotted him from about 30m away and he did not seem too fussed by our company, My mate Mike had his 100mm macro lens on his camera and was down on all fours with the end of his lens just out of frame, I was messing about with camera settings as i only had my manual focus Zeiss 35-70mm on my camera and i shot one frame before this and had just bumped the shutter speed up to 1/500 s and bang he struck, we were both laughing and then i had a look and was lucky enough to catch it,just wish i had the end of Mike's lens in the frame.

Python Reticulatus
Non venimeux (aglyphe) mais potentiellement mortel pour l'homme par constriction
Répartition : sud-est de l'Asie
Taille adulte : plus de 8m, c'est le plus long serpent du monde
Biotope : il habite les forêts tropicales près de l'eau
Particularités et mode de vie : ce python extrêmement puissant est un grand prédateur. Il peut ingurgiter d'énormes proies mais peut aussi rester plus d'un an sans manger. Braconnés pour leur peau magnifique, les grands spécimens deviennent très rares dans la nature.
Régime alimentaire : gros mammifères, oiseaux
Reproduction : espèce ovipare, 30 à 100 oeufs couvés par la mère
Python reticulatus
The second-largest snake in the world, originating in southeast Asia and the
Indo-Australian archipelago. Longer than the Anaconda, but much lighter.
Order: Squamata - Snakes and Lizards
Family: Boidae - Boas and Pythons
I prepared this specimen.
(Those teeth are SHARP! This was a very painful skull to prepare.)
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.

TAXONOMY
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Subphylum: Vertebrata (chordates with backbones)
Class: Reptilia (turtles, crocodilians, snakes, lizards and tuatara
Order: Squamata (scaled reptiles)
Suborder: Serpentes (snakes)
Family: Pythonidae (pythons)
Genus/species: Morelia viridis
GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS: Adults are green with a distinct ridge of scales that is usually white to yellow in coloration and forms a broken or continuous line down the length of the body.
Ventrally, the scales are generally yellow. Juveniles may be either bright yellow or brick-red. They have series of white blotches edged in black or brown. A white streak edged in black runs from the nostril through the eye and to the back of the head.
Average length of 1.5 m (5 ft); with the largest up to 2.2 m (7.2 ft).
DISTRIBUTION/HABITAT: Found in the Mainland New Guinea, its offshore islands, and in eastern Indonesia and in the northeast Cape York Peninsula of Australia. Found mainly in moist forests from lowland to mid-montane altitudes.
DIET IN THE WILD: They are nocturnal hunter when larger nocturnal prey are active as well. M. viridis changes color when it changes its diet from small reptiles and invertebrates to rodents and birds in the rainforest canopy.
REPRODUCTION: M. viridis exhibit some maternal care by brooding their eggs before they hatch. Females have been observed coiling around their clutches. They will often shiver and contract their coils, apparently to produce metabolic heat and thus maintaining a temperature, which ranges from 84 to 88 degrees Fahrenheit.
Yellow and red individuals averaging 30.5 cm (12.8 inches) in length hatch out of 6 to 32 eggs in captivity but colors are separate on different islands.
PREDATORS: Main predators of green tree pythons are rufous owls, black butcherbirds, and an assortment of diurnal raptors.
CONSERVATION: IUCN Red List Least Concern (LC)
Threats: It is becoming increasingly popular in the pet trade.
REMARKS: Each color stage appears to provide camouflage suitable to its immediate habitat. As a young snake, the red or yellow color blends in better in forest gaps or edges, where smaller animals reside. Adult green coloration blends in best in the closed canopy of the rainforest, where larger prey live.
