I sort of wished I would see a python up in the trees. No such luck though. All of the houses in Mangalore are surrounded by smooth surfaces b/c apparently the snakes can't get a grip and won't come near.

This is a screen shot from Call of Duty Black Ops where I'm standing behind another player with a magnum (aka Python) revolver.

This fellow was just strolling down Santa Monica beach, obviously showing off his pet. Or maybe the python had him out for a stroll that day, who knows? Taken circa 1986, Canon F-1, Vivitar 28-90mm f/2.8-3.5, Kodachrome 64.

Diamond python in Brisbane Water National Park

We've just had a few gorgeous days of sunshine at last and we're not the only ones lapping it up.

This python was settling down for the night on a precarious branch in the mangroves. About 12 feet below was the Brisbane River. We were just above it on a boardwalk behind the mangroves which are flowering and I think the snake was nicely positioned to grab any bird that came to feed on the nectar. It was a mid-sized snake.

I love snakes, but this is the first time I've shot for skin texture. This particular snake was just massive. Wish I could remember which of the larger python species it is.

Ecco alcuni scatti recenti del mio Reale Albino

Today (3 June 2011) we had another sighting of our friend the Coastal carpet python (Morelia spilota sub sp. mcdowelli) in the pandanus palm at the back of the laundry.

My hairier half, Warwick, was downstairs and he heard the frantic noise the birds make when the pythons are in the poinciana tree, and came across this chap coming down from there via the ‘dick tree’ (our nickname for pandanus palms – it’s a long story!).

I decided on a montage as I thought it was the best way to show him – and also helped to hide the blown highlights in the full stretch photo – it’s hard to get a python from head to tail when he is along a branch! You can just see a bit of tail curl on the lower right of that shot. And I loved the detail one of his underside, something we don’t often see.

So after annoying him for a few minutes we left him in peace to go and have a bask in the sun.

I can't remember what kind of python this is but he was so pretty

Some of the textures & colors; the hole where the viga burned in, 900 mysterious years ago: worth every calorie no matter how you get there.
