You'll have to forgive my self-indulgence with these snake photos. This snake came to visit one night and stayed for 6 days!!! Totally awesome! I couldn't stop taking shots of it.
Aspidites melanocephalus (Pythonidae) Pythons
GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS: A large snake with maximum length of 2.5 m, though 1.5 to 2 m more common. Head covered with shiny black scales; body a striped or brindled pattern in shades of black and gray brown, gold and cream. Juveniles more vividly marked. Females larger than males.
DISTRIBUTION/HABITAT: Northern Territory, Queensland, Western Australia. Habitat: Open woodlands, shrub lands, outcrops, humid coastal forests, and seasonally-dry tropical woodlands. Not found in very arid regions. Found among rocks and loose debris.

REPRODUCTION: Oviparous. Female guards them.
REMARKS: Like all pythons, a non-venomous species that kills by constriction. To save energy during the dry season when food and water are scarce, pythons reduce their body temperature. Can dig and live in burrows to escape daytime heat. Small, streamlined head and nonprotrusive eyes may be adaptations to entering burrows and hollows.

This guy was hiding out of the rain in a rock face next to a bushwalking trail. I didn't get too close - this image is cropped.
I think it might be a Diamond Python - Morelia spilota spilota - any snake experts out there?
Not seen on one of my present walks! I have only had one walk this week where photos opportunities were good, but as I am prone to doing daft things, I took my camera but not the battery! This photo was taken back in 2006. These pythons were relatively common near the Kinabatangan River in the vicinity of Sukau.
