An African Rock Python coiled up in typically python fashion on a tree branch. Python sebae, commonly known as the African rock python, is a large, nonvenomous snake of Sub-Saharan Africa. Africa's largest snake and one of the five largest snake species in the world (along with the green anaconda, reticulated python, Burmese python and amethystine python), specimens may approach or exceed 20 ft in length. The southern subspecies is generally smaller than its northern relative. The snake is found in a variety of habitats, from forests to near deserts, although usually near sources of water. The African rock python kills its prey by constriction and often eats animals up to the size of antelope, occasionally even crocodiles. The snake reproduces by egg-laying. Unlike most snakes, the female will protect her nest and sometimes even her hatchlings.

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.

They are often found near human habitation due to the presence of rats, mice and other vermin as a food source. However, their equal affinity for domesticated birds and mammals means that they are often treated as pests. Exceptionally large specimenss even eat larger prey such as antelope, pigs or goats, and are known to have attacked and eaten alligators and adult deer in Florida, where they are an invasive species.

A great talk about Python iCamp, an indepedent, agile Python education program in China. The subject matter was interesting, the slides and content was clear and the talk was given in Chinese with an excellent simultaneous translation by Wong Jiang Fung (sitting on the right of the desk).
Unfortunately, I don't know the speaker's name.
Had to see the snakes at Australia Zoo, this python was right at the window, rather a largish fellow, I am so scared of snakes but they fascinate me as well

Chesterfield Canal, Shireoaks
The historic narrowboat Python, now owned and operated by the Chesterfield Canal Trust, was built in 1929 for Fellows, Morton & Clayton Ltd by W J Yarwoods & Son of Northwich and was fitted out at Uxbridge. Commissioned in February 1930, her fleet number was 249 and her registration number was UXB 572. She was built on the same works number as her sister boat Panther, which is now owned by the Coventry Canal Society. Python also used to be the motor to the butty Fazeley, which is now fully restored. Of coppered steel construction, she was originally built as a 70' vessel with a Josher bow* and fitted with a Bolinder 5 hp engine. Python was used as a carrier in the Fellows Morton & Clayton fleet until 1949 when she was sold to the British Transport Commission (later to become British Waterways Board) and passed into the South Eastern Division carrying fleet. In 1960 she was given a major overhaul and fitted with a new engine, and in 1974 became part of British Waterways' maintenance fleet when she was subsequently shortened to 53' in 1982 and her cabin rebuilt to the current format of rear engine room, crew cabin and forward store. But with the introduction of more modern, purpose built vessels she was soon to become redundant and fell into disuse for a number of years. After a lengthy period of neglect Python was handed over to the Chesterfield Canal Trust in 2009 who have a team of volunteers dedicated to ensuring her care and maintenance as a promotional vessel for the work of the Trust. Python is currently decked out as a tug and repainted in British Waterways' blue and yellow colours. She is also registered on the National Historic Ships register.
Josher Bow
A distinctive bow design named after Joshua Fellows of Fellows, Morton & Clayton. The long, slender bow with its double curvature became a specified company style, almost a trademark. Some replica narrowboat designs incorporate false rivets to simulate the construction method used on the original vessels.
This beautiful specimen, came out one early morning near our house, I had to go to work, but wife and kiddo watched this guy for an hour or so, snaps are taken by her.
All coiled up, and in a slightly aggresive posture.
