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 was taken in Langkawi, Malaysia, it is totally in the wild. It may not be a python, if you know, please let me know.

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.

“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

A captive Children's python (Antaresia childreni) eating a dead rat. She dragged it into her little hidey-hole, and I thought she had eaten it. But a few minutes later the rat appeared outside. She must have had difficulty trying to swallow it in the confines of her box, so she moved outside where she could finally eat it.

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.

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 olive python (Liasis olivaceus) is a large python that can reach sizes in excess of 4 metres and is Australia's second-largest snake species. They have a uniform body colour of either olive, greenish brown or reddish brown while the belly is usually cream coloured.
Taken from behind glass at a sanctuary... but I'd rather take a shot of a snake in the wild than of a large insect any day!
