This is "Julius Squeezer" - Burmese Python
Julius is quite large, about 12 feet long and 65 pounds, according to his handlers. It takes three people to carry him safely. He is an animal ambassador at the SDZ Safari Park.
The Burmese python is one of the five largest snakes in the world, native to a large variation of tropic and sub-tropic areas of Southern- and Southeast Asia.
They are often found near water and are sometimes semi-aquatic, but can also be found in trees. They are also excellent swimmers, being able to stay submerged for up to half an hour.
Burmese pythons are carnivorous. Their diet consists primarily of appropriately sized birds, mammals
and vermin. IUCN has recently listed the Burmese python as "Vulnerable". Wikipedia
Hope you enjoyed my pics:)

An albino Burmese python in a separate enclosure in the reptiles section in the Emirates Park Zoo near Samha in Abu Dhabi. The Burmese python is frequently captive-bred for colour, pattern, and more recently size. Its albino form is especially popular and is the most widely available morph. They are white with patterns in butterscotch yellow and burnt orange. Such white and albino pythons generally never occur in the wild as most of them are a result of man made genetic mutation and breeding. At any rate, with their white- yellow colour and total lack of camouflage, they could never survive in the wild. (Emirates Park Zoo, Samha, Abu Dhabi, Jan. 2015)
Found these egg-holders while looking for stuff to shoot in the kitchen. Combination of lighting for glass and off-camera flash techniques. Just love them curves :)
Loot! As a vintage guy, I had given up. Until I went to THAT thrift store. It was all there! T or C. Emily was hot.
I took Girl Scouts to Busch Gardens. I got to hold on to all the purses, drink bottles and cell phones while I took photos.
The Python is an old ride, much shorter and slower than most of the other coasters.

This lovely lady is a Stimsons Python Antaresia stimsoni. The Stimsons python is a relatively small python in comparison with other Australian python species.
The Stimsons natural distribution range would probably be the largest distribution range of any Australian python. Within this huge distribution range there are several recognized morphs. These morphs were probably the result of environmental differences e.g. habitat, prey and climate differences, over thousands of years.
Generally speaking the Stimsons python is well suited as a captive pet. The temperament of these pythons is quite placid and besides the odd exception they are normally amendable to handling.
This lovely lady Roxanne belongs to the neighbours across the road from my parents. Trev has had her for about 12 years now and in that time she has grown quite a bit!
Found at Marcoola Beach in Sunshine Coast. Queensland, Australia.
Found in grass in bush adjacent to beach.
Single exposure, uncropped, handheld, in situ. Canon MT-24EX flash unit, Ian McConnachie diffuser.
This VFD module came with the spec sheet - it's still made today! It interfaces through 5V TTL logic, and we were able to drive it through a PC parallel port.
I wrote a tool in Python to drive the display using the python-parallel library on Xubuntu. It was a fun day's project :)
The Snake Farm or Queen Saowapha Memorial Institute, formerly the Pasteur Institute, is set up to produce anti-venom serum for snake-bite victims nationwide. Venomous snakes including the king cobra, Siamese cobra, Russell's viper, banded krait, Malayan pit viper, green pit viper and Pope's pit viper are milked daily for their venom to make snake-bite antidote.
Had this " little " fella wrapped around my neck...
A Diamond Python or Carpet Snake crossing the road on the way to work. These snakes are becoming rare due to predation by Foxes and habitat loss.
Taking some photos, I noticed injuries caused by an unknown animal and realised that he needed some medical attention.
After some excellent co-operation between DELWP and Parks Victoria with assistance from James, Kerry, John, Tom, Wes and Mark, the snake is now on his way to the Vet for some TLC and will then be cared for by a local wildlife carer before being released back where he was found.
Very misunderstood like many other creatures. Snakes actually are not slimy, at least not this one! They have a beautiful nice-to-touch, shiny coat. My son likes to play with this a lot though it weighs him down. He, I mean, the snake is pretty big.
Python molurus bivittatus
The Everglades, Florida
These guys are native to SE Asia, but in recent years they have become well established in the Everglades. It is believed that the current population is partly a result of escapees during hurricanes, but also from the release of pet snakes by careless owners.
