Python bivittatus
A healthy adult male that was found and captured crossing a road late at night in south Florida. Though most people associate pythons with Everglades National Park, this species continues to expand its range to the north and west in south Florida. This big male was found right on the periphery of the suburbs while driving home from field work.
First large python of the year (3.5m approx.). I photographed this guy in situ last night close to the maximum elevational limit (around 850m asl) of the species in the Lamb range.

Canon 500D and a Canon 100mm Macro (non IS). I was flat on my stomach in the grass. The python was 30-35 cm in front of me in the natural light. No flash or reflector was used.

The python at night during one of the night openings at the Efteling. Python is coloring the Dutch and French flag when coming through.
One of the most iconic roller-coasters in De Efteling and the only one without any theming. Since the opening in 1981 just a roller coaster without a story behind it. In the second half of 2017 Python will be completely dismantled (except for the station and lift-hill) to be built up again. This -as we speak- 26-years old coaster is ready for the future after this renovation.
Python
Python is a double-loop Corkscrew roller coaster in the Efteling amusement park in the Netherlands. When it started operation, it was the largest steel roller coaster on the European mainland.
With Python, Efteling started the implementation of a new strategy: development from a fairy-tale forest into an all-round amusement park. This change led to many problems with the local community. Environmentalists tried to get the building permit withdrawn, and the park's neighbors feared more problems arising from growing visitor numbers. Because of the likely noise pollution, the highest court of public justice ordered the construction to be stopped. After some time, construction could recommence, but legal problems continued for several more years.
In 2005 the trains were replaced by Kumbak Coasters designed by Karel Willemen and in December 2011 with Vekoma MK1212 trains. In mid January 2012, the python was fitted with new carriages. These new cars have a new set of restraints which accommodate the needs of riders large and small. There is a flexible over the shoulder strap which is not unlike those on accelerator coasters such as Kingda ka but slightly thicker. Over these are metal bars for riders to hold on to and to give support to the under straps. Also, the cars have been fitted with wheels that allow a smoother ride.

A relatively slim body characterizes the green tree python. The long tail accounts for about 14% of the total length. The head is large and clearly defined from the neck.
Almost entirely living in trees, the Green tree python spends most of the day curled over the branches high in the trees with its head resting on its coils. These snakes use disruptive coloration, which is an excellent camouflage and effects near invisibility.
The green tree python lures its food by sitting very still on a branch and dangling its tail. Curious about the wiggling tail, the prey gets close enough for a strike.

This is Julius Squeezer a Burmese Python.
Julius is quite large, about 12 feet long and 65 pounds, according to his handlers. It takes three people to carry him safely. He is an animal ambassador at the SDZ Safari Park.
The Burmese python is one of the five largest snakes in the world, native to a large variation of tropic and sub-tropic areas of Southern- and Southeast Asia.
They are often found near water and are sometimes semi-aquatic, but can also be found in trees. They are also excellent swimmers, being able to stay submerged for up to half an hour.
Burmese pythons are carnivorous. Their diet consists primarily of appropriately sized birds, mammals
and vermin. IUCN has recently listed the Burmese python as: Vulnerable.

Another shot of the beautiful young Royal python, who was one of my personal favourites. Taken at my recent photography day with CaptiveLight in Bournemouth.
After a nine months period of fasting, iGmasha finally ate .. 3 mice in 2 days.
Please say mashallah, she's the only friend i got left.
As you may remember, my single female ball python (Python regius) laid seven eggs without any interaction with a male python ever in her life. That's pretty rare but known phenomenon called parthenogenesis. Only one egg survived despite proper incubation, and single baby ball python was born.
Unfortunately he (or she) refused to eat after first skin shedding, which happen quite often with baby ball pythons. However, after weeks of games with all my tricks being used to convince small hunter to hunt, we eventually sorted this as well, and seems that now we have healthy, fast growing happy baby snake :-)

In 1999, Kongo Firearms Incorporated developed the Third-track Artillery Vehicle, a modular unit capable of carrying a wide variety of weapon loadouts, although it was designed specifically to carry artillery onto the battlefield.
The TAV is moderately armored, although it is mine-proof, and is also kitted out with KFI's Armored Vehicle Protection System, which fires a variety of smoke grenades and infra red screening rounds, as well as anti-personnel grenades.
Any artillery that the TAV happens to be carrying can be connected to the onboard computer, which requires only a single operator. For this reason, the minimum crew is 2; one driver and one artillery operator. However, the TAV can seat up to four, which allows for communications specialists, officers, and mechanics to also be present when and if the need arises.
The model shown here is fitted with the Python Multiple Launching Rocket System, which shoots up to 40 rockets at a time from the multiple barreled pod. Because of the computerized auto-loader, it has a relatively fast rate of fire, up to 2 rounds/second, and has a maximum range of 45 km. There is a wide variety of warheads available that can be mounted on the rockets, including but not limited to: incendiary, high explosive, submunition anti-personnel, biochemical, and vision-obscuring.
Python bivittatus
A gorgeous adult found crossing a forest road on a cool November night amid a flooded pine forest in south Florida. Pythons usually prefer freshwater marsh, but can be found in virtually any habitat in the Everglades. This is the lightest colored python I've seen, it was absolutely gorgeous.
