Mexican Burrowing Python - Loxocemus bicolor - Двухцветная змея
Loxocemidae, Henophidia, Pythonoidea, Caenophidia

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.

A Reticulated Python tastes the air with its tongue, while exploring its enclosure at the Toronto Zoo.
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.
I need to blog about this. This photo includes:
* A Raspberry Pi with a T-Cobbler
* A 20x4 LCD display with negative RGB backlight (currently hard-wired to purple)
Put together, this is a Raspberry Pi running a Python script that uses 3 GPIO pins to control 16 outputs.
Driving the LCD itself is a a dirty, dirty hack that fools some code from Adafruit into thinking it's talking directly to GPIO pins, when really it's talking to my shift registers.
It's that last part which made me bounce in my chair - because I don't quite yet understand how to talk to the LCD display, yet my hack worked the first time. (Albeit very, very slowly.) \o/
In the near future, I want to figure out how to control the red / blue / green backlight pins from the Raspberry Pi, in order to change colors on the display.

Explore some of the hottest shoot locations, ‘Downunder’ with world class photographers and photo educators Brian Smith and Mark Galer.
If your dream is to photograph and visit a unique place on our planet that offers friendly locals, spectacular landscapes, stunning wildlife, unique creative imagery and icons like the Opera House, kangaroo’s, ancient landscapes – then you will love this special photo holiday to the land ‘Downunder’. Australia has been isolated from all other land masses for millions of years. The worlds largest island continent boasts a very rich and diverse range of habitats. Only a little smaller than mainland USA, it is a big country.
Found this Scrub Python (Morelia amethistina) after being told by some bike riders, in Etty Bay, that it was coiled partially on the road and too cold to move.
Picked it up (it was too cold to even lift its head) and put it in a sunlit tree, and within minutes it was back to smelling the air and moving around.
I mis-identified it as a Carpet Python, but my friend Jeremy corrected me.

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.
At this stage on 13/02/2018 the first corkscrew is already back and two days later the second. It's going fast during these days.
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.
