Today (3 June 2011) we had another sighting of our friend the Coastal carpet python (Morelia spilota sub sp. mcdowelli) in the pandanus palm at the back of the laundry.
My hairier half, Warwick, was downstairs and he heard the frantic noise the birds make when the pythons are in the poinciana tree, and came across this chap coming down from there via the ‘dick tree’ (our nickname for pandanus palms – it’s a long story!).
I decided on a montage as I thought it was the best way to show him – and also helped to hide the blown highlights in the full stretch photo – it’s hard to get a python from head to tail when he is along a branch! You can just see a bit of tail curl on the lower right of that shot. And I loved the detail one of his underside, something we don’t often see.
So after annoying him for a few minutes we left him in peace to go and have a bask in the sun.

Some of the textures & colors; the hole where the viga burned in, 900 mysterious years ago: worth every calorie no matter how you get there.
I made this cake today and when my daughter walked into the kitchen and saw it, she nearly jumped out of her skin. Inside is a Dark Chocolate Cherry Ripe Mud Cake filled with dark chocolate ganache!
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.
This lovely python was on the side of the walking path and provided a great photo opportunity. About 2m in length, it was totally chilled out.

Lady called us at around 1AM about a giant snake in her driveway. This is what we saw when we arrived on scene. 5-6 foot Burmese Python just chillin in the driveway. We called an animal removal company to come and take him away, the guy said it was possible that it was a wild snake.

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 some 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.
Le python réticulé (Broghammerus reticulatus syn. Python reticulatus) est une espèce de serpent de la famille des Pythonidae. Considéré comme le plus long serpent du monde, il mesure en moyenne entre 6,5 et 9,5 mètres pour un poids compris entre 90 et 140 kilos. Il peut exceptionnellement atteindre 10 mètres, comme la femelle tuée par des indigènes aux Célèbes en 1912 et mesurée par un ingénieur[1]. Par ailleurs, une femelle longue de 8,70 mètres, décédée en 1963 au zoo d'Highland Park en Pensylvanie, avait atteint un poids maximal de 145 kilos[2].

This carpet python (probably Morelia spilota mcdowelli) was resting on the Thylogale Track (Brisbane Forest Park, Australia) on our way back. After giving us ample time to observe, it vanished into the forest. From my website at www.focx.de
