Reticulated python (Python reticulatus). This snake had been rescued by Bali reptile rescue centre. It had been held overnight and then released back into the wild, were it belongs :-)
I found this fresh skinned Python on a treen on Tioman Island in Malaysia. I was on my way to the Dive Resort and I wonder why all people where looking upwards on that small little Bridge. When I came there and looked up in the tree I saw this wonderful Snake. She is just a beauty, isn't she? I love this Pic, maybe you love it to :-)
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.

Fossil was kind enough to give me a MetaWatch prototype, and my Python client library is now correctly sending images over Bluetooth.
Over two months ago my single female ball python laid seven eggs without any interaction with a male python ever in her life. This is not very common, but known phenomenon in word of (some) reptiles (and some other groups of animals), called parthenogenesis. You can see her portrait with eggs here: www.flickr.com/photos/peterapas/51341593411/in/dateposted...
Unfortunately three eggs were undeveloped and I was able to put just 4 of them in incubator. Despite perfect condition, another three eggs 'died' on different stages of 60 days of incubation process. But one survived and two days ago this little baby hatched.
I had different species of reptiles for most of my live, successfully breeding many of them. But so far this was first parthenogenetic offspring ever produced by my animals. I hope that the little fella will shed skin around two weeks from now, then will eat his or her first meal and then... will stay with us, as we plan to add next ball python to our collection.
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

This python was over 5 meters long. It was in the rain season and, cause the heavy rain it was quite cold that day. The snake was a bit torpid but it acted very aggressively when I approached.
Questo pitone superava i 5 metri. Era la stagione delle piogge e, quel giorno, la temperatura era più bassa della media ed il serpente era un pò intorpidito. Tuttavia reagì aggressivamente quando mi avvicinai di più.
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.

A Burmese Python sleeps in his enclosure. The Burmese python (Python bivittatus) is one of the five largest snakes in the world, native to a large variation of tropic and subtropic areas of Southern- and Southeast Asia. They are often found near water and are sometimes semi-aquatic, but can also be found in trees. Wild individuals average about 12 ft in length but have been known to reach even 19 ft and more. Like all snakes, Burmese pythons are carnivorous. Their 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. 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.

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.

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.
Bumped into this friendly albino granite colored Burmese Python at the Carolina Reptile & Exotic Animal Show today. He weighs in at 150 lbs and is 6 years old.
From Wikipedia:
The Burmese Python (Python molurus bivittatus) is the largest subspecies of the Indian Python and one of the 6 biggest snakes in the world, native to rain forest areas of Southeast Asia. They are often found near water and are sometimes semi-aquatic, but can also be found in trees.
The Burmese python is one of the largest of all snakes, growing up to 8 metres (25 feet) and weighing up to 180 kg (400 pounds). It continues to grow throughout life and the great length is due to the presence of a large number of vertebrae. Females are typically larger than males.
A Burmese Python at Serpent Safari Park in Gurnee, Illinois, USA holds the record for heaviest living snake. As of 2005, it weighs 182.76 kg (403 lb) at a length of 8.23 m (27 ft).
