Hey, guess what? A several foot-long King Snake has made a cozy little burrow home for him/herself in the sandy foundation beneath our backyard swimming pool. How U Like Me Now?

"Big Snake’s brother was the first who sat to me. . . ." "After I had finished this picture, and the others had examined it with great attention, a general impression seemed to prevail amongst them all that I must be a great medicine man. And as we encouraged the idea, which afforded us no inconsiderable protection from any treachery on their part, I had no trouble in getting as many sitters as I could possibly manage." (Paul Kane, "Wanderings of an Artist," 1859:420–424)
I met Jason and Butter at the Night Market in Madison in June of 2024, it was obvious at the moment we crossed paths that I wanted to include him in my (608)strangers project. Butter is still just a youngling as much as Jason, who is attending UW-Madison working on a Communications major and a certificate in business. Previously living in Philadelphia, Madison was quite the change four years ago when he arrived he felt "really isolated and to myself" but thankfully he now feels happy to be part of the community. It always brings a smile to my face whenever I see the two of them out on State and hope to see them for years to come!
I really feel growth comes in many forms, and joining the 100 strangers group really helped me see that capturing portraits of totally random people is a pretty cool thing to do. I can't recommend this concept enough if you're looking to venture to another type of street photography.

up close - he had knocked over his water bowl and so was let out while his vivarium was being cleaned. "James" is an albino Burmese rock python (Python molurus bivittatus). He's about 12 feet long and weighs probably 85 lbs...haven't weighed him in a while. Check the "James" and "python" tags for more information about him, and to learn how "James" helps teach, click on www.EcoSnake.com. Kind of fun to view "James" large! Photo by Frank

albino Burmese rock python. "James" is very strong and it's a challenge to hold him and take a picture. He's almost 12 feet long and weighs around 80+ pounds. "James" was a rescue in 1997 from some folks who didn't want him...he had outgrown an aquarium so he was being kept in a closet without appropriate heat or light or space. He was about 8 feet long then. People should learn that when they have a small Burmese python that it will grow into an adult Burmese python. Information about Burmese pythons here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burmese_python. Check the "James" tag for more pictures of him and www.ecosnake.com for more information about amphibians and reptiles.

Olive Pythons are stongly associated with rocky areas especially near water. This one was found in a recently dried up waterway in Keep River National Park.
is a 12 foot long albino Burmese rock python (Python molurus bivittatus), a native of Southeast Asia. "James," however, was bred and hatched in captivity. Note the dull color of his normally pink eyes meaning he's in "molt" and will shed his skin soon. "James was a rescue from some folks who no longer wanted him ten years ago when he was about 8 feet long. He was able to roam around the room today while his cage was being cleaned. View large to get a good view of his scales and heat sensing pits. Click on the "James" tag for more pictures and information. Photo by Frank
Steve Irwin helped many people in the world understand and appreciate wildlife and conservation. He educated simply while passionately entertaining. He gave amphibians and reptiles dignity and respect throughout the world. His life will continue to give us hope to follow our dreams. He will be missed. The www.EcoSnake.com web site owes much to the Crocodile Hunter's work. Photo of Frank and "James", albino Burmese rock python (Python molurus bivittatus), by Garren.
is an albino Burmese rock python (Python molurus bivittatus). Burmese pythons are natives of Southeast Asia and are one of the largest snakes in the world. They are non-venomous and therefore "harmless" to humans, though, as adults they are strong enough to kill a human by constriction. They are, however, relatively docile and, if cared for properly, pose no threat. The problem is people get the snakes when they are babies and don't realize they will grow to lengths in excess of twelve feet (female Burmese pythons can approach twenty feet). They also breed rather well in captivity. Sadly, they are being released into the wild in Florida. Once again, people need to behave responsibly with animals. "James" was a rescue because when he was eight feet long, the people who had him didn't want to care for him any more. For ten years now, he's helped educate people about snakes. Notice the red spots on his snout - those are his "heat sensing pits" which sense the heat of prey animals. Also notice his red/pink eyes which are characteristic of albinism. "James" would have been bred and hatched in captivity. As an albino, he would have had little chance, as a neonate, of surviving in the wild/ I've had "James" since 1997. He was about eight feet long then. Now he's a about twelve feet long. I just looked down at his enclosure and saw him looking up so took this picture. I think he's getting hungry again which is a good thing. Photo by Frank
"James" was out of his enclosure this afternoon to help with the annual Christmas card photo. He took a brief break to check out the weather channel on the television across the room.

On an uncharted tributary of the Carquinez Strait, Chuck and Carl are searching for the legendary lost 7-11 of Eckley. Soon Carl will find that he left his wallet in the car, and - in deference to tradition, and like Odysseus and Aeneas before them - they'll search for the lost entrance to the underworld instead, to see if they can find Al Zampa's ghost. Like Gilgamesh, Chuck will accidentally drop his beer into the underworld, and he'll ask Carl to go and get it for him, and this turn of events will lead to what Hollywood advertising people used to call "wacky mix-ups."
African rock pythons are recently decided to invade human habitats in return of being invaded by humans in their own habitats. They can visit paces in Florida, California too but they also like visiting a school in Botswana. maybe they want to learn tricks from people.
had not eaten for almost six months, but has eaten twice in the past four days, so he must be back on food. Snakes will go off food at various times of the year for various reasons, though this is the first time he's done it for this long. "James" is an albino Burmese rock python (Python molurus bivittatus) who was a rescue in 1997 from someone who could no longer care for the snake, though it was only eight feet long at the time. "James is now just under twelve feet and when eating regularly weighs between 80 and 90 pounds. Notice the little indentations around his lips and below his nostrils. Those are his "heat sensing pits." In addition to his tongue and jacobson's organ enabling him to have an acute sense of taste and smell, the heat pits enable him to sense the warmth of prey over considerable distances. We need to realize that the senses the snakes have are totally different from the senses we have, and thus their world is different from ours'. It's something people really need to realize about reptiles - these creatures see the world differently than do we and if we are to understand them, we must see their worlds from their points of view. Since 1997 "James" has travelled all over Idaho helping me with my educational programs. Check the tags for more information about "James." In this picture, taken October 1, 2006, he's in my yard for some photographs. Photo by Garren (Garren Evans - April 15 - 1971 - August 9, 2008)

Yelped like a little girl while jumping back 5 feet. Once I recovered, tried getting closer to take this picture and its tail made a hideous vibrating noise, seriously creeped me out so I left. It was at least 4' long...In Pin Oak Prairie SNA.
Olive Pythons are Australia's 2nd largest species of snake behind the Scrub Python. They are capable of reaching lengths around 5 meters. This one was around 3 meter (~9 feet).
I took a couple of shots of this snake whilst it was in the water. When I went to the canal this morning someone had removed it to the tow path. I could finally see how big it really was. The smell was awful. Within an hour of this photo being taken someone from the R.S.P.C.A. came and removed it.

third grade students in Rexburg, Idaho in 1998. He was only about 9 feet long when this picture was taken. It's hard to believe most of the kids in the picture probably graduated from high school this year or will graduate next year. "James" is now too big to perch on the ladder! Photo by Monte LaOrange of the Idaho Falls, Idaho, "Post Register." The photo appeared on page 1 and was the lead article in the newspaper on April 15, 1998.
