Python / Python sebae
Shot at the reptile farm near Kartong/Bambia. The shots of the snakes are not spectacular, as pictures. I put them here on flickr because these snakes are so impressive, at least to me.
The Pythons in Karton were kept in a "small house" wich could be entered. So did we. In front of us we saw three big ones. The largest apr. 6 meter. We were told that they would not attack: they look at the size of their prey; when to big they don't do anything... While taking position to capture the one on the photo I heard sissling next to my knee... hmm time to say goodbey to the python's. Outside I had a closer look through one of the windows, there were 5 guys crawling round.
From wikipedia:
This is one of the world's largest species of snakes,with adults reaching lengths of over 6 m (20 ft). The typical adult length is 4.8 m (16 ft) and rumors of specimens over 6 m (20 ft) are generally considered reliable, but larger specimens have never been confirmed.
Southern African Python (Python sebae natalensis)
The color pattern is typically brown, with olive and tan irregular blotching, fading to white on the underside. At a glance, they can be easily mistaken for the Burmese python, P. m. bivittatus, but the two species are not closely related.
Africa’s largest snake (3) (4), the African rock python (Python sebae) has a long, stout body, patterned with blotches that vary in colour between brown, olive, chestnut and buffy yellow, often joining up in a broad, irregular stripe. The triangular head has many sharp, backwardly curved teeth and is marked on top with a dark brown “spear-head” outlined in buffy yellow. Under the eye is a distinctive triangular marking, known as a subocular mark. Like all pythons, the scales of the African rock python are small and smooth, and those around the lips possess heat-sensitive pits, which are used to detect warm-blooded prey, even in the dark. Pythons also possess two functioning lungs, unlike more ‘advanced’ snakes which have only one, and also have small, visible pelvic ‘spurs’, believed to be the vestiges of hind limbs.

The new Python looks fresh again and it runs smoothly through the loopings, cork screws and Bayern curves. Good idea of De Efteling to keep this iconic roller coaster which can be considered cultural heritage for the Netherlands and neighboring countries including France.
Operation Python
At the beginning of 2018 a large part of the attraction will be demolished and then re-built. That is the first time that the Efteling does that at a major attraction.
Only the lift, the station and the foundation are retained. The remainder of the runway is cut into pieces of five meters with a cutting torch, then a crane is loaded onto a truck and then disposed of together with the disassembled uprights as old iron. A steel company in Belgium makes the new job and stands for the Python. The new Python will look as good as possible on the old track, only the supports on which the rails will rest will be round instead of square.
The rebuilding of the attraction will take the most time. The bolted connections are assembled with a team of about 30 people. The installation of the loops will take place in four large parts of every eleven meters. This is followed by a twelve-day test program, whereby deliberate errors are made to test the emergency stop systems. Project leader of this "Operation Python" is Frank Poels.

A Woma Python that decided to move just as I took my shot, still worth posting I think :)
Reticulated Python at a cheesy tourist snake show. I saw the same show on my first visit to Bangkok nearly 20 years ago. Photos from that trip show the same floor covering, the same 'show', and hopefully, the same handlers. Still a sad place though, but hard to avoid if you take a longtail boat trip around the Thonburi klongs.

Python molurus bivittatus
A downright stunning adult male found crossing a canal during a crocodile survey in the Everglades. This snake had just shed and was downright stunning.
The reticulated python is Asia's largest snake and the longest species in the world. it is a highly common snake occurs mostly in lowland rainforest, plantations, agricultural areas and even in urban habitats.
Lovely snake, explores in the evening! Definitely settled! Still hasn't eaten but I'm not yet worried.

Eddie Izzard is considered by fans and critics alike to be one of the funniest men on the planet. His stream-of-consciousness comedy can take you from religion to politics to catching a bus in the blink of an eye. In many ways, his work resembles a one-man Monty Python and in fact, John Cleese has referred to him as "The Lost Python". His current tour "Force Majeure" has covered nearly 2 years and 25 countries. He's learned enough French, German, and Spanish to do his show in those languages, and is working on nailing down Russian.
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.
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.
