Wikipedia: The reticulated python (Malayopython reticulatus) is a species of snake in the family Pythonidae. The species is native to South Asia and Southeast Asia. It is the world's longest snake and listed as least concern on the IUCN Red List because of its wide distribution. In several range countries, it is hunted for its skin, for use in traditional medicine, and for sale as a pet. It is an excellent swimmer, has been reported far out at sea and has colonized many small islands within its range. It is among the three heaviest snakes. Like all pythons, it is a non-venomous constrictor. Adult people have been killed (and in at least two reported cases, eaten) by reticulated pythons.
This particular python was killed by my friend who lives a few blocks away from me. He raises prize chickens and some of them went missing. He caught it raiding the chicken coop one night. It was 3.1 meters (10' 2") long.

Back Story ..........................................
Left home at 4:15AM, arrived at 5:15AM.
Rocky and Mama greeted me at the gate.
Food was laid out, both dogs had breakfast.
Daylight is an hour away so Mama and I both
took a short nap. Rocky ran home to the nuns.
At first light we gathered up the food bags plus the camera then left to feed The Leroy Crew.
While going across the cement walking bridge Rocky and his gang of hooligans met us, so that took a few more minutes.
Each one of them demanded their quota of attention, big fun.....;-)
Now the excitement starts.....................................................................
Usually when I arrive at The Leroy Crews turf Tuff Guy is first to jump up on the rock wall and receive his morning meal.
Honey and new puppy run over next to the head monk and wait their turn............... Not Today ! ...............
Tuff Guy saw me alright but his nose was in the air, air scenting.
He smelled something that had his full undivided attention.
Like a rocket Tuff Guy took off for a cement pipe on the edge of the swamp. This is maybe 50 feet away, possibly 60 feet.
Monkeys are going ballistic, screaming, yelling, absolute panic. They all ran up into the trees and onto the nearby roofs.
Sure enough TG had scented a large python coming out of the swamp and into a drain pipe. The Thais quickly started a fire on the other end of the pipe to keep the snake from entering a building used as the temple kitchen, not good !!!
In short order the snake was yard-ed out of the pipe with a strong bamboo stick . Lots of fighting with the snake striking at anything within reach, that included me ! Well, Mostly Me !
.......... Please Don't Try This at Home ..........
Ok, in this photo that's my left hand ah-hold of the snakes tail while walking backwards at a fast clip. Keeping the snakes head as far away from me as possible was the whole idea ! Snake kept striking at the puppy who kept barking at the snake. Monkeys are all screaming in their own state of panic !
Dogs are all barking in a frenzy as the head monk and a few workers are talking real fast about the crazy photo man .. ;-)~
.
Now I'll answer your first question so you don't have to ask it.
Snake was put into a real large rice sack and transported off temple grounds by a local farmer.
Thanks for dropping by and leaving your comments.
Greatly Appreciated.............................................................
Thank You.

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 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.
were named "carpet pythons" because their patterns were thought to resemble oriental rugs. "Shaggy" is a jungle carpet python (Morelia spilotes cheynei). Carpet pythons are native to Australia. Photo by Frank.

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.
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.

Watching this python resting below the surface of his pond; he gradually moved toward the surface and just poked his snout and eye above the surface... so fascinating and yet thankful there is a viewing glass in between us.

Indian Python
This Python was about 9 feet in length and it is still not fully grown.

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

Python bivittatus
A healthy adult male that was found and captured crossing a road late at night in south Florida. Though most people associate pythons with Everglades National Park, this species continues to expand its range to the north and west in south Florida. This big male was found right on the periphery of the suburbs while driving home from field work.
The Green Tree Pythons (Morelia viridis) are very comfortable on tree branches. They loop into a coil over a branch to form a saddle position. Then place their head in the middle for a bird's eye view of any rats passing below.
Apparently, due to this snake's popularity with herpetoculturist, their range has been extended from New Guinea, islands in Indonesia and Cape York Peninsula in Australia. Green Tree Pythons can now be found in the wild in Florida, U.S.A.
Python molurus is a large nonvenomous python species found in many tropic and subtropic areas of South Asia and Southeast Asia. It is known by the common names Indian python, black-tailed python and Indian rock python. The species is limited to Southern Asia. It is generally lighter colored than the Burmese python and reaches usually 3 metres
This was a pleasant surprise sighting... well not at first haha i nearly stepped on it! Shortly after realizing what it was my initial fear quickly changed to excitement, this is the first python i have seen in the wild. I've brightened this photo up a bit.
Another not bad-looker from last season. Found in Springbrook National Park
Morelia spilota mcdowelli
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.

Two albino Tiger Pythons (Python molurus) "kissing"
The left one had removed its old skin just minutes before, You can see a rest on its nose (and yes, I have photos from this). These snakes become very large, up to 7m. The two here are rather large too, not easy to say, but maybe 5m.
After so many studio shots I today needed to go "for a snake" with my sons. Taken in Salzburgs "Haus der Natur" with my new macro lens.
