Indian python, also known as black-tailed python and Indian rock python is a large nonvenomous python. The species is limited to Southern Asia. It is generally lighter colored than the Burmese python and reaches usually over 9 feet in length.
Lethargic and slow moving even in its native habitat, they exhibit timidity and rarely try to attack even when attacked. They are very good swimmers and are quite at home in water.
These snakes are carnivore animals and they feed on mammals, birds and reptiles indiscriminately, but seem to prefer mammals. After a heavy meal, an individual may fast for weeks, the longest recorded duration being 2 years!
Hope you enjoyed!

This diamond python has spent the winter in our attic and with some warmer weather has emerged into the daylight. I took this picture as it made its way through the garden. They are supposedly harmless to humans and even helpful by eating unwanted rodents.

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 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 Environmentalists tried to get the building permit withdrawn, and the park's neighbors feared more problems arising from growing visitor numbers.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.

Burmese python - NONVENOMOUS

A Woma Python from central Australia. This beautiful python from the central sandy desert of Australia is unfortunately an endangered species.
My two big burmese pythons shortly before I took them to my brother to take care of...last time I saw them alive. I was in the Navy at the time and was getting deployed and he agreed to watch them while I was gone, it didn't work out very well.
A little about the two snakes, the larger one I bought from a pet store very cheap since they got it from someone who caught it 'wild' in San Diego and it had bit several store employees. It was already eight feet long at this time so it was leaving 1/4inch teeth embedded when it was pried off. I took it home and it took about a year to get it tame enough to hold safely as long as it was nowhere near it's cage. I used to leave it in the living room where it would crawl under the cushions on the back of the couch leading to a scaley surprise when one sat down. It never once tried to bite me or anyone else while out of the cage, while in it's cage however it was mean and nasty, trying to bite even through the screen on the side.
The smaller snake was only a year old when I took this photo and was already eight feet long. I found they will eat far more than once a week or so, like every day. Both of them ate five pigeons and many rats a week and got testy if I slacked off on that routine.

Python example of a serial output from the Lego Mindstorms. The baud rate is 115200. I would use this hub to exchange data with my Fischertechnik system. This way I can send out commands from the Lego as well as vice versa from Fischertechnik. Examples of this will follow later to make both systems work together.

Zo kan ik zowel vanaf de Lego bevelen uitsturen als omgekeerd vanaf Fischertechnik. Later volgen hiervan wel voorbeelden om beide systemen samen te laten werken.
Saw this last Sunday. The policemen will try to catch the python and release it in the woods far away. I think the python is about 2m long.

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.
