Benin. West Africa.
Ouidah
In most parts of the world snakes are feared, but in Benin they are revered. Royal pythons are worshiped in Benin, especially in Ouidah. The good news is that royal pythons are not dangerous, but the bad news is that these sacred reptiles are welcome Beninese households where they are fed when the doors of the temple are opened at night. There is no fear when the locals welcome these slithering pythons into their living rooms like an honoured guest.
The Temple of Pythons is a small room of twelve square meters that houses 50 adult royal pythons.
My first attempt at custom minifigs. Yes, I know its been done before, but wanted to make my own. Designed in the style of the classic castle themes, I hand-drew all of the designs and am happy with the way they turned out.

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.
In first place in the “Professional” category for the longest python captured, the winner is Mr. Dusty Crum. The length of the python captured to win this award was 15 feet 5 inches. Along with the award trophy, Mr. Crum will also receive $1500 in prize money.

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.

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 :-)
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.

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.

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.
