I'm just showing Robbie some neat things on his eMac. I think in this picture I was showing him a bit how to program in this awesome programming language Python (www.python.org). Later that I found perhaps the best text editor in the world. I love it. It's called TextMate and it can do everything (www.macromates.com).
The green tree python is a species of python native to New Guinea, islands in Indonesia, and Cape York Peninsula in Australia. Described by Hermann Schlegel in 1872, it was known for many years as Chondropython viridis. As its name suggests, it is a bright green snake that can reach 2 metres in length and 1.6 kg in weight, with females slightly larger and heavier than males. Living generally in trees, the green tree python mainly hunts and eats small reptiles and mammals. It is a popular pet and numbers in the wild have suffered with large-scale smuggling of wild-caught green tree pythons in Indonesia. Despite this, the green tree python is rated as least concern on the IUCN Red List of Endangered species.

Python Bridge, officially known as High Bridge (Hoge Brug), is a bridge that spans the canal between Sporenburg and Borneo Island in Eastern Docklands, Amsterdam. It was built in 2001 and won the International Footbridge Award in 2002. The bright red bridge spans 90 meters and was designed by Adriaan Geuze of the architectural firm West 8

An Autumnal scene on the Chesterfield Canal at Osberton.
The Chesterfield Canal Trust's narrow boat 'Python' is tied up here.
This took me about four weeks off-and-on to design and construct. I'm pretty proud of how it turned out.
Ball Python - there are actually parts from 3 different snakes (all ball pythons) in this shot.

This Royal python was another of the beautiful snakes I had the opportunity to meet yesterday at a photography day with Captive Light in Bournemouth.
says, "Hello!" She is a Royal (ball) python (Python regius). Royal pythons are among the most docile snakes and are native to west Africa. Notice her heat sensing pits above her lips. The pits enable her to sense the heat of prey animals from a distance. Photo by Frank.

Widespread across arid Australia, the Stimson's Python attains a maximum size of one metre and preys mainly upon small mammals, reptiles and frogs.
They are very abundant in the rocky escarpments of central Australia, which continues to boast healthy populations of small mammals - going against the trend from the majority of current Australian eco-systems.
Time is swift and we're having another featherless Sunday. Today I bring you a rare snake called the Labyrinth Python. It is not found in the wild but is a product of crossbreeding different species of Pythons. This specimen is owned by an acquaintance and he acquired it from a breeder in Florida.

This snake lives at Thrigby Hall Wildlife Gardens in Norfolk.
The jungle carpet python is a vividly coloured python that at its most striking is brilliant yellow and black, although it can be tan and black. Its underbelly is usually white. It has dry, glossy skin with smooth overlapping scales.
As with most species of snakes, females are typically larger than males, growing to between 4 ft. 11 in. to 7 ft. 10 in. (1.49 to 2.38 m) and weighing from 3 to 9 lb (1.36 to 4.08 kg). while males grow from 3 ft. 11 in. to 6 ft. 7 in. (1.19 to 2 m) and weigh 2 to 7 lb (0.9 to 3.17 kg).
The snake inhabits lush tropical and subtropical forests near waterways and creeks in Australasian regions such as the Solomon Islands and Papua New Guinea. They are found in a very small range near waterways running off the Atherton Tableland and the south-eastern part of the Cape York Peninsula in Queensland, Australia.
Little is known about the habits of this snake. As a whole, the species can be active during both day and night. It favours an arboreal living lifestyle, although they also come down to the ground, and they commonly use open spaces to bask. Carpet pythons are solitary creatures and only come together to breed.
The jungle carpet python lays a clutch of anywhere between 10 and 50 eggs at a time. Afterward, females coil around the eggs to protect them and keep them warm by using muscular contractions to generate heat. This type of maternal care, which is typical for pythons, ceases once the hatchlings have emerged after approximately 50 days. The lifespan of the snake in the wild is 8 to 20 years, and in captivity 12 to 30 years
The head of carpet pythons is triangular with a conspicuous row of heat-sensing pits on upper and lower lips which help it detect warm-blooded prey at night or in low light. Being a sluggish snake, it only moves at 1 mph (1.6 kph), it hunts by ambush. Like all other pythons, this species is carnivorous and kills by constriction.
It uses its piercing, backward-bent teeth, 4 rows in the upper jaw and 2 in the lower, to hold its victim then rapidly wraps its body around the prey, not crushing the victim until it break its frame, but squeezing strongly so that the victim can’t breath. Then the python deranges its jaws so it can open its mouth enough to eat the victim whole, typically head first.
Python may take more than a few days or even weeks to completely digest a victim.
After eating, a python can go numerous weeks, if not months, without eating again. It preys on medium-sized rodents such as rats and mice, and also birds, frogs and lizards.
Jungle carpet pythons suffer from habitat destruction which reduces the number of suitable hiding places to hunt and shelters to lay and incubate their eggs. They also suffer from road kill, the pet trade, and predation from feral cats and foxes.
Presently the jungle carpet python is not included in the IUCN Red List and its conservation status has not been evaluated.
Aren't those scales beautiful! Seeing this snake was a really cool experience, i can wait a bit in regards to seeing another venomous snake haha but when it comes to pythons i would be more than happy to see another one in the wild... as long as i spot it from a distance and not right near my feet!
Der Tigerpython (Python molurus) ist eine Schlangenart aus der Familie der Pythons (Pythonidae) und wird dort in die Gattung der Eigentlichen Pythons (Python) gestellt. Zwei Unterarten werden anerkannt, für die neuerdings auch Artstatus diskutiert wird: Der Helle Tigerpython (Python molurus molurus) und der Dunkle Tigerpython (P. m. bivittatus). Die dunkle Unterart gehört mit gesicherten Längen über fünf Meter zu den größten Schlangen der Welt. Das Verbreitungsgebiet umfasst weite Teile der Tropen und Subtropen Süd- und Südostasiens. Die Art bewohnt dort ein weites Spektrum bewaldeter Habitate in nicht zu großer Entfernung von Gewässern und zumindest gelegentlich auch Randbereiche menschlicher Siedlungen. Seit einigen Jahrzehnten hat sich außerdem eine durch illegale Auswilderungen begründete Population in Florida etabliert.
Die Nahrung besteht je nach Größe der Pythons aus kleinen bis mittelgroßen, sehr selten auch großen Wirbeltieren bis hin zu halbwüchsigen Schweinshirschen und erwachsenen Leoparden. Tigerpythons sind wie alle Arten der Gattung Python eierlegend (ovipar) und gehören zu den Arten, bei denen die Weibchen die Bebrütungstemperatur durch Muskelzittern deutlich erhöhen können. Der Tigerpython wird aufgrund seiner Gefährdung durch direkte Verfolgung und Habitatzerstörung von der IUCN als Art der Vorwarnliste („near threatened“) geführt.
Individuals of this species have proved to be indisputably the longest snake in the world. Unlike it's rival for the record, the South American anaconda, this tropical Asian monster is active amongst trees.
The python is still persecuted by man for it's skin and few live long enough to reach their maximum potential size.
Reticulated pythons are able to take prey as large as deer or pigs and, very rarely people.
In the pond!!! never seen anything like it. He was certainly alive with his head sticking out. Seemed quite comfortable

What a big surprise to find a big (i would guess 2,5m-3m long) reticulated python on a night walk in a rainforest in Singapore!
inspired by the story in Genesis.
Also, props to Jenny for being gutsy enough to let me wrap a live snake around her neck.
