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.
Another shot from my day at CaptiveLight in Bournemouth. This is a captive bred 6 month old Royal Python.
Found at Marcoola Beach in Sunshine Coast. Queensland, Australia.
Found in grass in bush adjacent to beach.

Being a sister-copy to this, this Vic Viper was also designed for high speed patrol missions on the newly discovered planet Creln'aer. However, just like its sister it had to be sold to keep the security force in business.

Waste Management Moreno Valley

Autocar Heil Freedom Superlight Curotto can
Back in November, WMmaster626 and I went to Moreno Valley and found a truly one of a kind refuse truck, especially in SoCal! A Autocar Heil Freedom Superlight Curotto can, unfortunately we were not able to film it in November and often WMmaster626 and I would talk about the superlight and wanting to film it. So on 1/22/16 we went to Waste Managements Moreno Valley MRF, waited for the Superlight to arrive and followed it to Unincorporated Perris/Riverside. During our November visit we spoke to a real nice driver named Dave who has been with WM for 27 years. We talked to him for a while and eventually NEWCO Waste Systems got brought up and he talked about WM Moreno Valley getting some of their routes in 1999. Unincorporated Perris/Riverside is the area Dave must have been talking about. Many of the NEWCO carts WMmaster626 has filmed in Arcadia were in this area. There were NEWCO zarns, 96 gallon blue and black toters even black and blue Rehrigs and of course 96 gallon black Turn-Keys along with NEWCO dumpsters that were still blue with NEWCO logos on them. We also found a Heil Python on route that was fun to watch.
So between the Superlight, the Python and perhaps the biggest shock, a ex NEWCO route it was a great day full of surprises. Thank you WMmaster626 for coming and arranging today, Thank you John (Superlight) and Raul (Python), you are both very professional and efficient drivers. I would also like to Thank John Curotto and the Curotto staff who made this awesome carry can. AFL’s have always been my favorite refuse truck. I grew up with S.T.S. Autobuckets, Heil Autocans and of course Curotto cans, so thanks for making this amazing carry can!
Invented in 2009, the Superlight is a Curotto can that is lighter than the Slammin Eagle. The dumpter is primarily made of special high strength Kevlar fabric and weighs only 1,200 pounds (compared to a Slammin Eagle which is closer to 2,000 pounds).

No, no the programming language but the roller coaster in Efteling... soaring just above us while we were having a waffle...
A very large (5 metres and 21kg) Scrub Python (Morelia kinghorni) under the verandah of a house, Speewah, Queensland
Kids here keep pythons as pets and use them to pose for pictures at USD1 from tourist...
Bought them school stationery and books instead.
This is a 10ft Rock Python trying very hard to eat a buck. We watched for about 30 mins as the snake slowly moved up the body of the buck. It seems it bit off more than it could swallow, as shortly after this photo was taken the snake regurgitated the whole lot. Was a truly amazing sight even if it was a bit gross.
A closer look at the python that Tara was showing, with the warning that some guests might feel anxious. Angolan pythons originate in southwest Africa. They eat small mammals and birds, and sometimes amphibians or insects.
Python molurus bivittatus
At just under ten feet, this adult male python was quite a handful while being removed from the Florida everglades. These large, powerful snakes are wreaking havoc on native wildlife, with an estimated population of over 100,000 individuals in south Florida.
Aus dem TerraZoo in Rheinberg.
"Der Königspython (Python regius) ist eine Schlangenart innerhalb der Familie der Pythons (Pythonidae). Diese Riesenschlange bewohnt die Tropen West- und Zentralafrikas und ernährt sich von kleinen Säugetieren und Vögeln. Wie alle Mitglieder der Familie ist sie eine ungiftige Würgeschlange. Der Königspython ist mit einer maximalen Gesamtlänge von etwa 2 m die kleinste Art in der Gattung der Eigentlichen Pythons (Python)." (Wiki)

A reasonable sized python sits/lies in the rafters of a shaded sitting area at Australia Zoo. This guy isn't behind glass, he's just a few feet above folks having lunch.
I'm assuming Morelia spilota mcdowelli as this type is common in Queensland.

One of the biggest fans of the Python in De Efteling I know. Andy Ram has made 54 trips in a row non stop in this double loop corkscrew roller coaster on November 12, 2012. Here striking proudly a pose with a special edition of the Python hoody sweater with 3 collector pins in front of the Python which just made its first loop less than one week after re-opening after a full 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.
In 2017 The Efteling decided to rebuild the old coaster, because the quality of the steel was decreasing. Begin 2018 the Efteling started to demolish the old track, The station and lifthill will remained . The belgian company CSM will produced the new track. The ride reopened at the 31 of March.

This amazing sighting of 1 big python and 3 smaller ones( 2 on this picture) we had on the bridge over the Olifants river . These pythons were curled on the sticks that piled up on the pillars of the bridge. The next day they were gone. I have no idea if there is a family relationship between these pythons. Who can tell?

No more loopings! The Python in De Efteling is de-looped in the afternoon of January 15th 2018. The tracks are fully renovated at the oldest steel double-loop Corkscrew roller coaster of Europe. After about 36 years it was time to renovate this famous roller coaster. Perhaps one of the first roller coasters in Europe that was considered cultural heritage. The last ride was made on the 5th of January and the demolition started on Monday 8th January. After one week more than half of the tracks were dismantled.
The new Python (lets call it Python verson 2.0) is sheduled to re-open the last week of March or early April.

Male Green Tree Python (Morelia viridis). is one of Papua New Guinea's most well known snake species. It occurs a variety of habitats including dry forest, swamp forest and cultivated areas.
The adult is unmistakable: the dorsal surface is bright green, or sometimes bluish, and the ventral surface pale yellow or white. A pale vertebral stripe is generally seen. Juveniles are mostly bright yellow throughout, but in some areas may be dorsally red, orange or green.
The body is muscular, and the head is short. The eyes are large with a vertical pupil, and the heat-sensing pits, with which the snake is able to detect infra-red heat from warm-blooded prey, are easily visible on the lower lip.
As in other pythons, the head scales are numerous and finely granular. Morelia viridis is not exclusively a tree-dweller, but will come to ground if needed, however they prefer to rest amongst trees by day.
Their diet is varied and includes lizards and small mammals.
This species is widely distributed in PNG, occurring at elevations of up to 2000 metres. Its range also extends into the western half of the island of New Guinea, nearby Indonesian islands, and parts of Australia's Cape York Peninsula.
