The green tree python (Morelia viridis) is one of Papua New Guinea's most well known of snake species. Its range also extends to the western half of New Guinea, nearby Indonesian islands, and parts of Australia's Cape York Peninsula. It can be found in a variety of habitats including dry forest, swamp forest and cultivated areas, from sea level to 1,800 m elevation.
The green tree python is characterized by a relatively slim body. The species usually reaches a total length of 150-180 cm, but large females may reach 200 cm. The size also varies depending on the region of origin. Males can weigh about 1100-1400 g, females up to 1,600-1.800 g. Generally, they are a vibrant green in color but some adults are blue or yellow. They have a series of white or blue dorsal and/or lateral spots evident in most.
The diet consists mostly of small mammals, such as rodents, and sometimes reptiles and small birds.
This picture is taken in Burgers Zoo in Arnhem, the Netherlands.
De groene boompython (Morelia viridis) is een middelgrote slang uit de familie pythons (Pythonidae) die maximaal ongeveer 2 meter lang kan worden maar meestal kleiner blijft (circa 140 à 160 cm). De lichaamskleur is groen met gele of blauwe strepen en gele of witte vlekken. Mannetjes en vrouwtjes zijn lastig uit elkaar te houden. Vrouwtjes worden vaak wel langer.
De groene boompython komt voor in zuidoostelijk Azië; op en rond het eiland Nieuw-Guinea en de eilanden rond Nieuw-Guinea. Tenslotte in Australië in het noordelijkste puntje van de staat Queensland, genaamd Kaap York. De groene boompython leeft in tropische, warme en vochtige regenwouden die dichtbegroeid zijn. Het is een typische boombewoner die zelden de bodem betreedt. De groene boompython is te vinden van laaglanden tot een hoogte van 2000 meter boven
Door het gespierde lichaam, behendige grijpstaart en lange tanden is de python gespecialiseerd om vanuit een tak snel uit te halen naar een prooi. Hierbij wordt de staartpunt gebruikt als lokaas. Deze wordt heen- en weer gekronkeld waardoor prooien, als kleine zoogdieren, soms reptielen en kleine vogels, worden aangetrokken, en als ze dicht genoeg genaderd zijn slaat de slang bliksemsnel toe. De python is niet giftig en doodt zijn prooi door wurging.
Deze opname is gemaakt in Burgers Zoo in Arnhem.

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.
Python Pool is located within the picturesque Millstream-Chichester Range National Park, south of Roebourne. It is a stunning spot for a swim in a cool refreshing rock pool whilst enjoying the spectacular backdrop of the imposing rugged ochre cliffs. If you are adverse to chilly water, pack a lilo or other floatation aid to keep you above the cooler waters below.
Take a drive through the park to enjoy the pristine scenery including vast rolling hills, tranquil gorges, magnificent escarpments and winding tree-lined watercourses. There is prolific bird life in the area, hear their calls amidst the otherwise eerie silence.
Pack a picnic and enjoy a day out at the park or camp overnight in one of the camping grounds. If you are feeling fit and agile, enjoy a six hour trek along the Chichester Range Camel Heritage Trail.
Millstream-Chichester Range National Park is a two hour drive southeast of Karratha. Check road conditions prior to visiting.

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.
The FWC (Florida wildlife commission) Has used the exceptional snake hunting skills of Irula tribesmen from India to help in their invasive Python removal program. In their first 8 days, the Irula tribesmen, removed 13 Burmese Pythons from S.E. Florida!! !(Over 1,100 hits on Explore so far!)
Morelia viridis
Mission success! My first wild Australian Green python photographed in situ at night, low to the ground in ambush mode.

I hope everyone is having a great day! Best to you always! 😊
Another approach to designing an origami Python logo. This model is folded from two separate sheets, which allows the snakes to be different colors and have color-change eyes using yet another color.

Back Story ...................
.
OK, I know a lot of you want some updated info on the political situation here in Thailand.
Things have been happening at a very fast pace.Large stashes of weapons and bombs are being discovered nearly everyday.
The daily shootings and grenade attacks have stopped for the most part due to the Coup.
A few hundred politicians and their cronies have been brought in for a friendly chat with the military.
As of this mornings news 5 Trillion Baht $ is missing from the gov coffers.Divide that by 30 to get a close count in US Dollars.
Three million tones of rice is missing from the gov warehouses.
This number is expected to keep rising as the investigation continues.
.
Number #1 wife and I are doing fine, that goes for all the dogs as well.
.
The early heavy rains have brought in a bumper crop of frogs which also brings in a large amount of snakes.
Needless to say Mr Monkey Boy With No Brain 4 Thinking has been very busy fighting Cobras on a daily basses.Sometimes 2-3 times a day ! ...;-(
.
This morning I left at daybreak heading for the monkey temple. The sound of thunder was quite loud but the sky was semi clear.
So I took off anyway.
Zipping down the main road there was a pickup truck about 60+ feet in front of me traveling at the same speed, about 45-mph.
All of the sudden he slams on his brakes. Locking my arms I too slammed on my brakes. Stuff went flying off to the side in front of the truck as I headed for the shoulder of the road.
Instantly I see a motorcycle with a man still attached to the saddle and his head bouncing on the pavement leaving a blood trail.
FYI--- He was Not Wearing a Helmet !!!
Car brakes were locking up all around us, my first reaction was to dismount and give first aid.
At the same instant the truck that had rear ended the bike started to take off. I had to make a quick decision and make it fast !
Knowing there was plenty of people to help the injured rider and a hospital only minutes away I took off in pursuit of the hit an run truck.
.
My little 125cc was wide open, maybe reaching 70+mph. Flying down the road in hopes of getting a photo of his license plate.
The wild man driving the truck was weaving in an out of traffic and gaining distance on me so another decision was made.
I backed off !
It was clear at this point chasing him was a lost cause and now I'm putting not only myself but others is serious jeopardy.
If I had not gone after him I would feel guilty, but at least I gave it some effort. I wish the motorcycle rider well.
.
30 minutes later and about 400 meters from the monkey temple I round a curve and spot this little old farmer dragging what I first thought was a pipe covered with mud or something?.
I know him and his friends as most every trip out they are standing by the road an we wave, smile and nod to each other .
It became clear once I was much closer this was no pipe covered with mud.
Dismounted pulled out the D300 and started shooting.
He was so excited the white man that feeds the dogs had stopped to document his new prize.
This is a 4-5 meter python with 2 chickens inside it's belly.
He will skin it and sell the hide for belts, the meat will be eaten and the 2 chickens inside it's belly will be used for fish bait, nothing left unused.
After we had a big laugh and photos were taken we said our good byes & I continued on to feed the temple dogs.
.
They were, as usual very excited and hungry, all is well ...;-)

Burmese Python (Python bivittatus)
Coconut palms and other tropical plants make the background landscape look like this snake's native region of Southeast Asia. However, both the snake and the location are actually South Florida, where the Burmese Python is now a firmly established invasive species. One of the five largest species of snakes in the world, they can attain a length of 18+ feet. This individual was captured as a hatchling in the Florida Everglades. It belongs to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and is used as an educational animal. Photographed with a Canon EOS 7D Mark II, Canon 580ex II Speedlite, and Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 AT-X 116 Pro DX Lens at the UF/IFAS Fort Lauderdale Research and Education Center.
