My son gets a python lei (real snake) from Safari Joe.
Ball pythons (Python regius) are found at the edges of the forest lands of Central and Western Africa. They are equally comfortable on the ground and in trees. They are crepuscular, active around dawn and dusk. Called royal pythons in Europe, here in the United States we call them "balls" due to their habit of curling themselves up into a tight ball when they are nervous, their heads pulled firmly into the center. Like most pythons, ball pythons are curious and gentle snakes.

Python molurus
At just under ten feet, this adult male python was quite a handful while being removed from the Florida everglades. These large, powerful snakes are wreaking havoc on native wildlife, with an estimated population of over 100,000 individuals in south Florida.
A Diamond Python or Carpet Snake. These snakes are becoming rare due to predation by Foxes and habitat loss.
Taking some photos, I noticed injuries caused by an unknown animal and realised that he needed some medical attention.
After some excellent co-operation between DELWP and Parks Victoria with assistance from James,Kerry, John, Tom, Wes and Mark, the snake is now on his way to the Vet for some TLC and will then be cared for by a local wildlife carer before being released back where he was found.
**Update**
The snake is now being cared for at Healesville Wildlife Sanctuary.
This is Julius Squeezer a Burmese Python.
Julius is quite large, about 12 feet long and 65 pounds, according to his handlers. It takes three people to carry him safely. He is an animal ambassador at the SDZ Safari Park.
The Burmese python is one of the five largest snakes in the world, native to a large variation of tropic and sub-tropic areas of Southern- and Southeast Asia.
They are often found near water and are sometimes semi-aquatic, but can also be found in trees. They are also excellent swimmers, being able to stay submerged for up to half an hour.
Burmese pythons are carnivorous. Their diet consists primarily of appropriately sized birds, mammals
and vermin. IUCN has recently listed the Burmese python as: Vulnerable.

Chapter 3 : Cape Tribulation and the Daintree
During a cruise on the Daintree river. Apparently in the cruise before ours, these crocs were seens fighting each other in the middle of the river !
Prey is killed by a process known as constriction; after an animal has been grasped to restrain it, a number of coils are hastily wrapped around it. Then, by applying and maintaining sufficient pressure to prevent it from inhaling, the prey eventually succumbs due to asphyxiation.
We've finally got this thing the way we want it! The temperature is under control; and after struggling to find a successful method of keeping up the humidity inside the tank, we have finally found a balanced system that is working well.
The humidity has been a challenge due to the very dry air in SoCal. When we first set up the tank, we waited to see if the water dish that came with our snake kit would steadily evaporate and add moisture to the air inside of the tank. It didn't; too small. I was spritzing the tank with mist from a water bottle every few hours and that wasn't even enough. We replaced the water dish with a larger one and that didn't help either and I was still spritzing by hand. I added some moss around the water bowl to try to add moisture, but I left a small portion of the moss hanging in the water and it sucked a ton of water out of the bowl...and it flooded the bottom of the tank. Huge mess; no more moss.
Then we decided to buy a small $30 humidifier from CVS and we attached a tube to pump moisture up and into the tank from the bottom shelf of our table. That worked for a little while, but eventually water started to collect at the bottom of the tube, blocking the flow of mist. After discovering that the tube wasn't going to work, I placed the humidifier itself inside of the tank and turned it up as high as it would go. Still not enough. The tank is constantly trying to dry out and the tiny CVS humidity machine couldn't keep up. Finally, we broke down and bought a $60 reptile fogger from the pet store. And it's *working*! With the use of a timer, the fogger powers on and off keeping the tank between 50% and 75% humid. Perfect!
In the photo, the new humidifier (as well as the box that Mokiki stays in while he eats his meals) can be seen sitting on the bottom shelf underneath the tank. The tube that pumps moisture into the top of the tank is visible as well. There are two heat pads warming the tank: one on the side, which can be seen in the photo, and one on the bottom of the tank under the red heat lamp. The heat pad underneath the tank is hooked up with a dimmer switch which is left on the lowest setting possible for just a little bit of warmth on Mokiki's belly. The hot spot temperature under the red lamp is sitting nicely between 85° and 90° (dropping to about 83° at night). The other side of the tank stays around 80°-82° and drops to about 75° at night when the light is off for twelve hours.
Since first setting everything up, we've improved quite a bit. Good temp, good humidity, new cleaner bedding, extra hide spots for Mokiki to enjoy on both sides of the tank, and a little plant to add some color to the whole set-up. I think we've created a great habitat for our reptile friend, and he seems very happy in his home. We noticed that he enjoys climbing on the plant in the corner of the tank (mostly hidden by the heat pad in the photo), so I think we'll be getting something a little more sturdy for him to crawl on in the future. I'm very happy with how this is all coming along and I'm super excited to have this great pet!
Also, today was feeding day and I successfully fed him all by myself! I'm finally starting to feel like I know what I'm doing :]
Python reticulatus, also known as the (Asiatic) reticulated python or regal python, is a species of python found in Southeast Asia. Adults can grow to over 28 feet (8.7 m)in length but normally grow to an average of 10-20 feet. They are the world's longest snakes and longest reptile, but are not the most heavily built. Like all pythons, they are non-venomous constrictors and normally not considered dangerous to humans, even though large specimens are powerful enough to kill an adult and attacks are occasionally reported.
An excellent swimmer, it has even been reported far out at sea and has consequently colonized many small islands within its range. The specific name is Latin meaning net-like, or reticulated, and is a reference to the complex color pattern."

Just received my extension tubes from DealExtreme. As I can't afford a true macro lens for a few hundred dollars, this is a steal at $9. Made a few test shots with all tubes and the 50 1.8, lookin' good.
This is the side of a python leather watch strap. Each stitch is about 2mm wide.
@charmcityreptile ID's this snake as an albino reticulated python (Python Reticulatus(thanks for the ID!). Retics are the longest snakes in the world, so this guy has a bit of growing yet to do!
Stop by any jewelry counter, snake jewelry is IN this year. The snake was very accustomed to riding her girl, and seemed to be having a great time! (it takes about 8psi, I've heard, applied directly to the blood vessels in the neck to cause unconsciousness.)
(0186-3)
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 molurus bivittatus
An adult found crossing the road in Everglades National Park. This animal was captured and removed from the park under a permit.
Species of python found in Southeast Asia; it is widely regarded as the world's longest snake and longest reptile; specimens as long as 6 meters and weighing 59 kg have been reported. This individual was about 3 meters long.
The "reticulated" net-like patterning of it's scales gives the reticulated python its name.
