Some stuff I got in the post early this week from the nice people at O'Reilly's. They know how to make us geeks happy, well, I am anyway. I'll be bringing these along to the Python Ireland meetup. Books to be raffled, rest is first-come, first-serve. :)

I popped into town today (Saturday) and while on The Moor, I noticed a couple collecting money for the Thornberry Animal Sanctuary www.thornberry-animal-sanctuary.org/index.php and the man had a snake! So I just had to go and investigate. Apparently she's his own pet snake, and it a type of python which is friendly and won't harm you. She has beautiful markings and her skin was incredibly smooth, like a highly polished wooden floor! She's about 5ft long. She seemed very happy to investigate by flicking her forked tongue. I've always wanted to touch a snake, and now I have! Lovely.
The Burmese python (Python bivittatus) is one of the five largest species of snakes in the world (about the third-largest as measured either by length
or weight). It is native to a large variation of tropic and subtropic areas
of South and Southeast Asia.
They are often found near water and are sometimes semi-aquatic,
but can also be found in trees. Wild individuals average 3.7 m long,
but have been known to reach 5.74 m .
Burmese pythons are mainly nocturnal rainforest dwellers. When young, they are equally at home on the ground and in trees, but as they gain girth, they tend to restrict most of their movements to the ground. They are also excellent swimmers, being able to stay submerged for up to half an hour. Burmese pythons spend the majority of their time hidden in the underbrush.
Like all snakes, the Burmese python is carnivorous. Its diet consists
primarily of appropriately sized birds and mammals. The snake uses its
sharp rearward-pointing teeth to seize its prey, then wraps its body
around the prey, at the same time contracting its muscles, killing
the prey by constriction. It is often found near human habitation due
to the presence of rats, mice, and other vermin as a food source.
Burmese pythons are often sold as pets Although this species has a reputation for docility, they are very powerful animals, capable of inflicting severe bites or even killing a keeper by constriction.

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.
