The Reticulated Python (Python reticulatus) is a species of python found in Southeast Asia. It is widely regarded as the world's longest snake and longest reptile, but is not the most heavily built (although it is among the four heaviest). Like all pythons, it is a nonvenomous constrictor and normally not considered dangerous to humans. Although large specimens are powerful enough to kill an adult human, attacks are only occasionally reported.
Certainly not a high quality image, but I was surprised to see this small, attractive, non-venomous snake in a glass case in the Queensland Museum, on a visit with my grandchildren, so I took an iPhoto shot. There were two of these live pythons in a display with arboreal insects.
These reptiles are native to parts of Papua Nuigini, Indonesia and Cape York Peninsula in far north Queensland. They have a very distinctive method of arranging themselves on a tree branch, they loop a coil or two over the branches in a saddle position and place their head in the middle.
Bludd has been waiting days for this shot, waiting to watch the horror his one single bullet will cause, and for this he will not miss the chance.
The ball python or python regius is a nonvenomous python species found in Africa. This is the smallest of the African pythons and is popular in the pet trade, largely due to its typically docile temperament. No subspecies are currently recognized.
The name ball python refers to the animal's tendency to curl into a ball when stressed or frightened. The color pattern is typically black or dark brown with light brown or gold sides and dorsal blotches. The belly is a white or cream that may include scattered black markings.
This python is known for being a picky eater and may not eat for months, particularly during the winter breeding season. Ball pythons will not eat when they preparing to shed.

The Python is undergoing a full renovation between January and March 2018. 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.
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.

Python is the common name for a group of non-venomous constricting snakes, specifically the family Pythonidae. Other sources consider this group a subfamily of the Boas (Pythoninae). Pythons are more related to boas than to any other snake-family. There is also a genus within Pythonidae which carries the name Python (Daudin, 1803). Pythons are distinguishable from boas in that they have teeth on the premaxilla, a small bone at the very front and center of the upper jaw. Most boas produce live young, while pythons produce eggs. Some species of sand boas (Ericinae) are also called python.

Sometimes you have to look down when passing along the double loop corkscrew rollercoaster Python to see its beauty from a different perspective. Photo taken on one of the magnificent evenings in De Efteling during the Negen Pleinen Festijn when the park is open till 23h00. This photo is taken 4 minutes after closing time while walking back to the exit. Another beautiful day in De Efteling went by.

My second and larger, healthier looking than the first Green python. Again, this individual was photographed in situ in a low to the ground ambush pose at night after a moderate rain shower. A wonderful snake!

This 18-foot Burmese python was caught in Everglades Francis S. Taylor WMA by one of our Python Removal Contractors. During cooler months, people are more likely to see pythons during the day. Report sightings to the Exotic Species Hotline (888-IVE-GOT1), on www.IveGot1.org, or using the IveGot1 app.
