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.

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 :-)

These are one of my favorite snakes. The jungle carpet python lives in far north Australia in the tropical rain forest. Though juveniles may not show much yellow in general these animals should be black and yellow. I see so many plain brown coastal looking carpet pythons sold as jungle when they obvioulsy are not. They also destroy the diamond python gene by crossing them with jungle and selling them as diamond. Would someone pay $500 for a German shepherd when it is a german sheperd mix?
Estos son uno de mis serpientes predilectas. El pitón de la alfombra de la selva vive en el polo norte Australia en la selva tropical. Aunque jóvenes no pueden mostrar mucho amarillo en general estos animales deben ser negros y amarillos. Veo tanto Brown simple mirar costero pitones de alfombra vendieron como la selva cuando ellos obvioulsy no es. Ellos también destruyen el gene de pitón de diamante crucelos con selva y los vendiendo como diamante. ¿Pagaría alguien $500 para un pastor alemán cuándo es una combinación alemana de sheperd?
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.

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.

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.

A huge Burmese Python in his enclosure in the Reptile House at Al Ain zoo. This is taken on my 2008 visit. There are Burmese pythons still in the zoo but this huge fellow seems to have disappeared. He has apparently just had his lunch, as his bulging midriff shows. The Burmese Python (Python molurus bivittatus) is the largest subspecies of the Indian Python and one of the six 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 3.7 metres (12 ft) long,[3][4] but may reach up to 5.74 metres (19 ft) (Al Ain, UAE, Aug. 2008)

Python bivittatus
A healthy adult that was found crossing a forest road at 4:15 AM with an air temperature of 64 degrees Fahrenheit after a long night of alligator work. This is the 10th python I've seen this year, and is easily the oddest circumstance in which I've found one.

No more loopings! The Python in De Efteling is de-looped in the afternoon of January 15th 2018. The tracks are fully renovated at the oldest steel double-loop Corkscrew roller coaster of Europe. 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
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.
