A captive Children's python (Antaresia childreni) eating a dead rat. She dragged it into her little hidey-hole, and I thought she had eaten it. But a few minutes later the rat appeared outside. She must have had difficulty trying to swallow it in the confines of her box, so she moved outside where she could finally eat it.

TAXONOMY
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Subphylum: Vertebrata (chordates with backbones)
Class: Reptilia (turtles, crocodilians, snakes, lizards and tuatara
Order: Squamata (scaled reptiles)
Suborder: Serpentes (snakes)
Family: Pythonidae (pythons)
Genus/species: Morelia viridis
GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS: Adults are green with a distinct ridge of scales that is usually white to yellow in coloration and forms a broken or continuous line down the length of the body.
Ventrally, the scales are generally yellow. Juveniles may be either bright yellow or brick-red. They have series of white blotches edged in black or brown. A white streak edged in black runs from the nostril through the eye and to the back of the head.
Average length of 1.5 m (5 ft); with the largest up to 2.2 m (7.2 ft).
DISTRIBUTION/HABITAT: Found in the Mainland New Guinea, its offshore islands, and in eastern Indonesia and in the northeast Cape York Peninsula of Australia. Found mainly in moist forests from lowland to mid-montane altitudes.
DIET IN THE WILD: They are nocturnal hunter when larger nocturnal prey are active as well. M. viridis changes color when it changes its diet from small reptiles and invertebrates to rodents and birds in the rainforest canopy.
REPRODUCTION: M. viridis exhibit some maternal care by brooding their eggs before they hatch. Females have been observed coiling around their clutches. They will often shiver and contract their coils, apparently to produce metabolic heat and thus maintaining a temperature, which ranges from 84 to 88 degrees Fahrenheit.
Yellow and red individuals averaging 30.5 cm (12.8 inches) in length hatch out of 6 to 32 eggs in captivity but colors are separate on different islands.
PREDATORS: Main predators of green tree pythons are rufous owls, black butcherbirds, and an assortment of diurnal raptors.
CONSERVATION: IUCN Red List Least Concern (LC)
Threats: It is becoming increasingly popular in the pet trade.
REMARKS: Each color stage appears to provide camouflage suitable to its immediate habitat. As a young snake, the red or yellow color blends in better in forest gaps or edges, where smaller animals reside. Adult green coloration blends in best in the closed canopy of the rainforest, where larger prey live.

The olive python (Liasis olivaceus) is a large python that can reach sizes in excess of 4 metres and is Australia's second-largest snake species. They have a uniform body colour of either olive, greenish brown or reddish brown while the belly is usually cream coloured.
Taken from behind glass at a sanctuary... but I'd rather take a shot of a snake in the wild than of a large insect any day!
I do not like snakes so when a friend from church asked me to make a snake cake for someone who does not like snakes I was taken back. Worse, the person is her hubby and the Youth Pastor! He loves to play pranks on his younglings so this is the perfect payback. The cake inside is a chocolate cake with white buttercream. Fondant is chocolate and I hand painted with gel color, petal and luster dust. It freaked him out I was told.
Die Pythons sind eine Familie von Schlangen aus der Überfamilie der Pythonoidea. Aufgrund von körperlichen Merkmalen wurden sie lange mit den Boaschlangen als „Riesenschlangen“ zusammengefasst. Aktuelle genetische Untersuchungen lassen hingegen an einer unmittelbaren Verwandtschaft der beiden Familien zweifeln. Wikipedia

An unwritten rule is that you must always ride the Python at least once during your visit. But I don't wait more than 20 minutes.

This was in a big case outside the Python exhibit at the San Diego Zoo. I did some post processing to highlight all the bones and the spine. Snakes don't scare me, our children had them as pets in the past.
There's a photo below of a snake much like the one this skeleton came from. Be sure to see it because I think he's quite beautiful. Also at the San Diego Zoo and a very big snake!
Python Reticulatus
Non venimeux (aglyphe) mais potentiellement mortel pour l'homme par constriction
Répartition : sud-est de l'Asie
Taille adulte : plus de 8m, c'est le plus long serpent du monde
Biotope : il habite les forêts tropicales près de l'eau
Particularités et mode de vie : ce python extrêmement puissant est un grand prédateur. Il peut ingurgiter d'énormes proies mais peut aussi rester plus d'un an sans manger. Braconnés pour leur peau magnifique, les grands spécimens deviennent très rares dans la nature.
Régime alimentaire : gros mammifères, oiseaux
Reproduction : espèce ovipare, 30 à 100 oeufs couvés par la mère
This specimen was about 5m, and had just eaten a Barking Deer. Apologies for the, ahem, "camera shake".

West German autograph card by Bravo, 1980. Tim Curry in The Rocky Horror Picture Show (Jim Sharman, 1975).
English actor and singer Tim Curry (1946) starred in more than a hundred films and series. He had his breakthrough as Dr. Frank N. Furter in the Cult film The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975). He also appeared as Pennywise the Clown in Stephen King's Horror TV miniseriesIt (1980) and as the butler Wadsworth in the Mystery comedy Clue (1985). In 2004, he created the role of King Arthur in the Monty Python musical 'Spamalot'.
Timothy James Curry was born in Grappenhall, Cheshire, in 1946. Curry is the son of school secretary Patricia and Royal Navy chaplain James Curry. His parents were very religious. His elder sister, Judith, later became a concert pianist. Curry spent most of his childhood in Plymouth. Curry developed into a talented boy soprano. His father died of pneumonia in 1958, when Curry was 12 years old. The family moved to South London, where he attended boarding school before attending the prestigious Kingswood School in Bath, Somerset, England, till he was 18. Deciding to concentrate on acting, he graduated from the University of Birmingham with a combined BA in English and drama in 1968. Curry's first full-time role was as part of the original London cast of the musical 'Hair' in 1968. There he met Richard O'Brien, who went on to write Curry's role of Dr. Frank-N-Furter in the musical 'The Rocky Horror Show' (1973). He played the character as a diabolical mad scientist and transvestite with an upper-class Belgravia accent. The show was an immediate smash hit. The reviewer of The Guardian wrote that Curry gave a "garishly Bowiesque performance as the ambisextrous doctor." He reprised the role in Los Angeles in 1974 and on Broadway in 1975. His real breakthrough came with the film version, The Rocky Horror Picture Show (Jim Sharman, 1975). It made Curry a household name and gave him a cult following. Curry returned to the stage with Tom Stoppard's 'Travesties', which ran in London and New York from 1975 to 1976. Travesties was a Broadway hit, which won two Tony Awards. Curry's performance as the famous dadaist Tristan Tzara received good reviews. Curry began to appear in many films, including the British Horror film The Shout (Jerzy Skolimowski, 1978) starring Alan Bates. In 1978, his first album was released, 'Read My Lips'. He followed this up with 'Fearless' (1979) and 'Simplicity' (1981). After that, Curry focused entirely on his acting career.
In 1980, Tim Curry played Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in the original Broadway version of 'Amadeus'. Curry was nominated for his first Tony Award (Best Performance by a Leading Actor in a Play) but lost out to his co-star Ian McKellen, who played Antonio Salieri. In 1982, Curry played the Pirate King in Gilbert and Sullivan's 'The Pirates of Penzance' opposite George Cole and Pamela Stephenson. The combination of high eyebrows, plastic smile and exaggerated intonation in his words made Curry a favourite villain in films and series. He appeared as Johnny LaGuardia in Times Square (Allan Moyle, 1980), as Daniel Francis "Rooster" Hannigan in the film version of Annie (John Huston, 1982), and as Jeremy Hancock in the political film The Ploughman's Lunch (Richard Eyre, 1983). Director Ridley Scott cast Curry as The Lord of Darkness in the Fantasy film Legend (1985) starring Tom Cruise. The same year, Curry appeared in the Mystery comedy Clue (Jonathan Lynn, 1985) as Wadsworth the butler. In the mid-1980s, Curry performed in the play 'The Rivals' and with the Royal National Theatre in 'The Threepenny Opera' and other plays. From 1987 to 1988, he toured in the lead role of Bill Snibson in the musical 'Me and My Girl'. After Clue, Curry was cast in more film comedies in the late 1980s and 1990s. He played Mr. Hector the suspicious Plaza Hotel concierge in Home Alone 2: Lost in New York (1992) and Long John Silver in Muppet Treasure Island. He also appeared in action films, such as the thriller The Hunt for Red October (John McTiernan, 1990) as Dr. Yevgeniy Petrov, The Three Musketeers (1993) as Cardinal Richelieu, and the superhero film The Shadow (1994) as Farley Claymore. In 1992, he played Alan Swann in the Broadway version of 'My Favorite Year', earning him his second Tony Award nomination (Best Performance by a Leading Actor in a Musical).
In the early 1990s, Tim Curry was one of the first well-known Hollywood actors to lend his voice to a character in a computer game. He provided the voice of the main character in parts 1 and 3 of the Gabriel Knight series. Besides Curry, Mark Hamill (best known as Luke Skywalker) and Leah Remini also lent their voices to the series. In 1991, he won a Daytime Emmy Award for his voice role as Captain Hook in the animated series Peter Pan and the Pirates (Nobuo Tomizawa, 1990-1991). He also voiced Hexxus in the film FernGully: The Last Rainforest (Bill Kroyer, 1992), King Chicken in Duckman (Jeff McGrath, a.o., 1994–1997), Sir Nigel Thornberry in The Wild Thornberrys (Cathy Malkasian, a.o., 1998–2004), and Chancellor Palpatine / Darth Sidious in Star Wars: The Clone Wars (Dave Filoni, a.o., 2012–2014). One of Curry's best-known television roles is as Pennywise the child-killing Clown in the Horror miniseries Stephen King's It (Tommy Lee Wallace, 1990). Although Curry has appeared in numerous television series throughout his career, he has only had lead roles in two live-action series: Over the Top (Michael Lembeck, a.o., 1997) with Annie Potts, a sitcom that he also produced, and the revival series of Family Affair (Barnet Kellman, a.o., 2002–2003). Both were cancelled after one season. In the early 2000s, Curry was cast in the film adaptation of Charlie's Angels (Mc G, 2000) in the role of Roger Corwin, and in the parody film Scary Movie 2 (Keenen Ivory Wayans, 2001) playing Professor Oldman. Curry went on to play Thurman Rice, a supporting role in the biographical film Kinsey (Bill Condon, 2004) starring Liam Neeson, and portrayed Alexander Monro in the British black comedy Burke & Hare (John Landis, 2010). In 2004, Curry began his stage role as King Arthur in 'Spamalot' in Chicago. The musical was directed by Mike Nichols, written by Monty Python member Eric Idle and based on the film Monty Python and the Holy Grail. The show successfully moved to Broadway in February 2005. and sold more than $1 million worth of tickets in its first 24 hours. His performance brought Curry a third Tony nomination, again for Best Performance by a Leading Actor in a Musical. Curry reprised this role in London's West End, where Spamalot opened in 2006. Curry was nominated for a Laurence Olivier Award. In 2013, Tim Curry suffered a major stroke and lost the use of his legs. Since then, Curry uses a wheelchair and shifted his work mostly to voice acting, although he has continued to perform as a singer and make appearances at fan conventions. He played the Criminologist in the TV film The Rocky Horror Picture Show: Let's Do the Time Warp Again (Kenny Ortega, 2016) starring Laverne Cox. In 2024, he had a cameo appearance in the Horror film Stream (Michael Leasy, 2024), providing the voice of the mask character Lockwood. Curry is working on a memoir titled 'Vagabond', scheduled to be released on 7 October 2025. Curry has never discussed his private life in interviews.

Genus/species: Python reticulatus (Pythonidae)
GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS: Normally colored reticulated pythons have several pigments: melanin (blacks), and xanthins (yellows) amongst other more subtle colors. Lemondrop is a “lavender albino” which is the same thing as a “tyrosinase positive albino” (t-positive) which have the inability to complete the synthesis of melanin but can produce other melanin related pigments such as various shades of brown grey and red resulting the “lavender” color. A “normal albino” (t-negative) reticulated python is yellow and white with pink/red eyes. Melanin and other melanin pigments areas are pure white but non-melanin pigments are present giving alternate colors (xanthines produce yellows). To make matters more complicated different albino snakes may have mutations giving them additional color morphs.
Our albino American Alligator, (Claude) Alligator mississippiensis is a “normal albino” (t-negative) with no melanin or non-melanin pigments making him pure white. If you google “t-positive albino” or “tyrosinase positive albino” you can find a lot more information on this condition.
(Albino Appearance Ref. Nicole Chaney Biologist II, California Academy of Sciences for basic albino information)
DISTRIBUTION/HABITAT: Myanmar and India, across Southeast Asia and on many of the islands of the Philippines and Indonesia.
Found on the ground, in caves or in trees and they have adapted to
living in towns and cities.
