Carpet Pythons are a common sight across northern and eastern Australia, with many households unknowingly having residents pythons in their roof - handy to keep rats away!
This large python was photographed in ambush position on a log in monsoonal forest in Darwin.
We had a marvelleous day at the Captive Light Repitile Plus photoshoot in Bournemouth. Here's a Royal Python to start off the show. Thanks go to my flickr friends Helen and Sue for telling me about this and for my flickr friend Elle for keeping me supplied with sucky sweets on the car journey.

I'm not a huge fan of snakes but the more I see them at the zoo and learn about them the less intimidating they become.
They are usually asleep or curled under something when I visit but I was lucky to see this huge olive python slithering around on a branch.
The area where the snakes are is also a hard to photograph area and I have never been happy with any of my shots in this area but this one I am happy with.
Also known as Brongersma's short-tailed python, or the Red Short-tailed Python
Location: Peninsular Malaysia
Length: 2.7-2.8 ft.
Toxicity: Non-venomous but quite bad bites (be careful).
The specific name, brongersmai, is in honor of Dutch herpetologist Leo Brongersma. This species is a sought after among exotic pet keepers, hence its location is always kept secret by scientists and herpers.
Behavior: P. brongersmai is a primarily crepuscular species – usually active around dawn and dusk.
Size/Length: Hatchlings of P. brongersmai range from 25–43 cm (10–17 in) in total length (including tail). Adult males typically range from 91–152 cm (36–60 in) in total length, and females between 120–180 cm (48–72 in) although a few have been recorded at 240 cm (96 in).
Reproduction: These snakes generally look overweight due to their robust structure. and reproduce biennially, producing 12 to 16 eggs (Shine et al. 1999). The species feeds on human rodents in oil palm plantations (Shine et al. 1999).
Morelia viridis, commonly known as the green tree python, or as it is known in the herpetoculture hobby, chondro is a species of python found in New Guinea, islands in Indonesia, and Cape York Peninsula in Australia
Morelia viridis
Despite the name, this youngster is clearly yellow - neonate and juvenile Green pythons exhibit a range of colours though yellow is the only form displayed in the Australian population of this species as far as I know. Minutes after photographing an adult in ambush mode, finding this guy was somewhat of a joke - almost too good to be true!!

One of the least discussed repaints, but a surprisingly nice looking figure, albeit overpriced and pretty useless.

The Dead Parrot Sketch
Monty Python
The Pet Shoppe
A customer enters a pet shop.
Customer: 'Ello, I wish to register a complaint.
(The owner does not respond.)
C: 'Ello, Miss?
Owner: What do you mean "miss"?
C: I'm sorry, I have a cold. I wish to make a complaint!
O: We're closin' for lunch.
C: Never mind that, my lad. I wish to complain about this parrot what I purchased not half an hour ago from this very boutique.
O: Oh yes, the, uh, the Norwegian Blue...What's,uh...What's wrong with it?
C: I'll tell you what's wrong with it, my lad. 'E's dead, that's what's wrong with it!
O: No, no, 'e's uh,...he's resting.
C: Look, matey, I know a dead parrot when I see one, and I'm looking at one right now.
O: No no he's not dead, he's, he's restin'! Remarkable bird, the Norwegian Blue, idn'it, ay? Beautiful plumage!
C: The plumage don't enter into it. It's stone dead.
O: Nononono, no, no! 'E's resting!
C: All right then, if he's restin', I'll wake him up!
(shouting at the cage)
'Ello, Mister Polly Parrot! I've got a lovely fresh cuttle fish for you if you show...(owner hits the cage)
O: There, he moved!
C: No, he didn't, that was you hitting the cage!
O: I never!!
C: Yes, you did!
O: I never, never did anything...
C: (yelling and hitting the cage repeatedly) 'ELLO POLLY!!!!!
Testing! Testing! Testing! Testing! This is your nine o'clock alarm call!
(Takes parrot out of the cage and thumps its head on the counter. Throws it up in the air and watches it plummet to the floor.)
C: Now that's what I call a dead parrot.
O: No, no.....No, 'e's stunned!
C: STUNNED?!?
O: Yeah! You stunned him, just as he was wakin' up! Norwegian Blues stun easily, major.
C: Um...now look...now look, mate, I've definitely 'ad enough of this. That parrot is definitely deceased, and when I purchased it not 'alf an hour ago, you assured me that its total lack of movement was due to it bein' tired and shagged out following a prolonged squawk.
O: Well, he's...he's, ah...probably pining for the fjords.
C: PININ' for the FJORDS?!?!?!? What kind of talk is that?, look, why did he fall flat on his back the moment I got 'im home?
O: The Norwegian Blue prefers kippin' on it's back! Remarkable bird, id'nit, squire? Lovely plumage!
C: Look, I took the liberty of examining that parrot when I got it home, and I discovered the only reason that it had been sitting on its perch in the first place was that it had been NAILED there.
(pause)
O: Well, o'course it was nailed there! If I hadn't nailed that bird down, it would have nuzzled up to those bars, bent 'em apart with its beak, and VOOM! Feeweeweewee!
C: "VOOM"?!? Mate, this bird wouldn't "voom" if you put four million volts through it! 'E's bleedin' demised!
O: No no! 'E's pining!
C: 'E's not pinin'! 'E's passed on! This parrot is no more! He has ceased to be! 'E's expired and gone to meet 'is maker!
'E's a stiff! Bereft of life, 'e rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed 'im to the perch 'e'd be pushing up the daisies!
'Is metabolic processes are now 'istory! 'E's off the twig!
'E's kicked the bucket, 'e's shuffled off 'is mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisibile!!
THIS IS AN EX-PARROT!!
(pause)
O: Well, I'd better replace it, then.
(he takes a quick peek behind the counter)
O: Sorry squire, I've had a look 'round the back of the shop, and uh, we're right out of parrots.
C: I see. I see, I get the picture.
O: I got a slug.
(pause)
C: (sweet as sugar) Pray, does it talk?
O: Nnnnot really.
C: WELL IT'S HARDLY A BLOODY REPLACEMENT, IS IT?!!???!!?
Thanks for viewing and favein.
Morelia spilota mcdowelli
Gold Coast, South East Queensland.
A Carpet Python (Morelia spilota) found at O'Reilly's, Green Mountain, Lamington National Park. A common snake found in Queensland.

Explored.
Python bivittatus
A young adult male found on the crawl on a brutally hot and humid morning in extreme south Florida. This snake was an unexpected surprise while checking a trap line for other invasive species and is only the second python I've seen this year.
Morelia spilota bredli
Also known as Bredl's python, this is a very beautiful, rarely seen species that inhabits the central ranges of Australia. Finding this species was one of two special highlights amongst a host of amazing wildlife encounters I was lucky enough to have this passing wet season.

One of my all time favourite photo models, a young Royal Python. Such a beautiful creature. Taken on a photo day with CaptiveLight in Bournemouth.
Liasis olivaceous
The largest snake I've seen in the Northern Territory so far - a big old Olive python that I'd guess was around 2.6m long.
Python molurus bivittatus
A young adult captured in the Everglades. This snake was in the six foot range and is like 1-2 years in age. Pythons put on size and weight quickly, which is part of why they've become such a problem in south Florida.
Indian Python
This Python was about 9 feet in length and it is still not fully grown.

die gelbe Schlange ist auch ein dunkler Tigerpython, jedoch ein Albino. Da ihm die Tarnfarbe fehlt, haben sie in der Natur keine Überlebungschance.

One of the "beasts" that guests had the opportunity to meet at the "Breakfast with the Beasts" program is a female Angolan python. She's an education animal who meets many humans at events and programs, though she's not on exhibit full-time.
Angolan pythons come from southwest Africa.
Morelia/Simalia kinghorni
A large Scrub python photographed in situ in the Wet Tropics World Heritage area, Queesland, Australia. I often encounter this species on roads at night but finding this large individual on foot was a special moment.
I'm not entirely sure of the taxonomy of this species currently, genus is either Simalia or Morelia and species has intermittently been kinghorni or amethistina. In either case this is a Far North Queensland individual, whichever taxonomy you follow.
