My son gets a python lei (real snake) from Safari Joe.
Ball pythons (Python regius) are found at the edges of the forest lands of Central and Western Africa. They are equally comfortable on the ground and in trees. They are crepuscular, active around dawn and dusk. Called royal pythons in Europe, here in the United States we call them "balls" due to their habit of curling themselves up into a tight ball when they are nervous, their heads pulled firmly into the center. Like most pythons, ball pythons are curious and gentle snakes.

Python molurus
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.
A Diamond Python or Carpet Snake. These snakes are becoming rare due to predation by Foxes and habitat loss.
Taking some photos, I noticed injuries caused by an unknown animal and realised that he needed some medical attention.
After some excellent co-operation between DELWP and Parks Victoria with assistance from James,Kerry, John, Tom, Wes and Mark, the snake is now on his way to the Vet for some TLC and will then be cared for by a local wildlife carer before being released back where he was found.
**Update**
The snake is now being cared for at Healesville Wildlife Sanctuary.
Prey is killed by a process known as constriction; after an animal has been grasped to restrain it, a number of coils are hastily wrapped around it. Then, by applying and maintaining sufficient pressure to prevent it from inhaling, the prey eventually succumbs due to asphyxiation.
Python reticulatus, also known as the (Asiatic) reticulated python or regal python, is a species of python found in Southeast Asia. Adults can grow to over 28 feet (8.7 m)in length but normally grow to an average of 10-20 feet. They are the world's longest snakes and longest reptile, but are not the most heavily built. Like all pythons, they are non-venomous constrictors and normally not considered dangerous to humans, even though large specimens are powerful enough to kill an adult and attacks are occasionally reported.
An excellent swimmer, it has even been reported far out at sea and has consequently colonized many small islands within its range. The specific name is Latin meaning net-like, or reticulated, and is a reference to the complex color pattern."

Just received my extension tubes from DealExtreme. As I can't afford a true macro lens for a few hundred dollars, this is a steal at $9. Made a few test shots with all tubes and the 50 1.8, lookin' good.

Another sign tom tom-ing the largest python in captivity looks pleasant enough, but its pleasant name notwithstanding, it hardly prepares you for the horrors within. I did not photograph the ostriches inside, the poor birds had been stuffed into cages barely enough for them to stand comfortably, let alone move around freely.

@charmcityreptile ID's this snake as an albino reticulated python (Python Reticulatus(thanks for the ID!). Retics are the longest snakes in the world, so this guy has a bit of growing yet to do!
Stop by any jewelry counter, snake jewelry is IN this year. The snake was very accustomed to riding her girl, and seemed to be having a great time! (it takes about 8psi, I've heard, applied directly to the blood vessels in the neck to cause unconsciousness.)

The Python was my first roller coaster, I rode it with my dad during a vacation in the mid 80s. Dad bought me a t-shirt that said "I CHALLENGED THE MIGHTY PYTHON!"
The last time I visited Busch Gardens was 2002, and as I was about to board it was shut down for weather. I stuck around as long as I could to ride it again before our group had to leave but never got onboard. It was removed in 2006. At least I have a postcard!
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.
The "reticulated" net-like patterning of it's scales gives the reticulated python its name.
