This Carpet Snake ( Morelia spilota ) I saw slowly making its way across the road near home , its around 7-8 feet long give or take a bit , these creatures are docile and keep rodent numbers down and when larger ones like this are first seen they are confronting and best left alone .

This beautiful python was laying half in a water dish I have outside my house when I woke up the other morning. He stayed in there for a good hour before sliding off into the forest. I noticed he had a very thick tail with an injury - maybe hit by a car or even attacked by one of the many who have snake grudges. There are snakes everywhere at the moment with the heat we're having.
Pas vraiment rare autour et dans le parc de Khao Yai (nous en avons vu deux en moins de deux jours), les pythons viennent dans les grottes et grimpent sur les murs pour attraper les chauves-souris. (Parc national Khao Yai - Thaïlande)
Albino Pythons.

National Geographic photographer and Nikon Ambassador Roger Strandli Brendhagen returned to Bergen during the city's most popular annual photography exhibition to redo his triumph from last time: Nikon Walk of Macro, taking interested Nikon photographers (and a few others too) from all over Bergen to Akvariet to make sure all the reptiles and amphibians there won't be able to see for the next few months.
With the photographers armed with macro lenses and flashes of all shapes and sizes, from 60mm to 200mm, from speedlights to ray flashes to dedicated macro flashes, the poor reptiles never knew what hit 'em. For me, this meant a welcome reencounter with my friend from last time, Mr. Python Regius. Though using the same lens as before, this time it was actually my own. =P
This time too there was a competition, and the best picture will be awarded a Nikkor 60mm ED AF-S Micro. This is my contribution, hope I'm in better luck this time! =)
Update: I was in a bit more luck this time, actually - this photo won the competition! =D
I believe this is quite a rare shot, actually - of the couple of hours we spent there, the snake almost never did anything like this. I was lucky to have my finger ready at the trigger AND the snake in focus when it happened. Lucky shot, indeed!
No, we are not talking the programming language here. This reptile has just had its lunch and decided to take a nap just beside the wall.
