Native to Australia and nearby islands, the carpet python is a non-venomous snake. Even so, handled without training or supervision, the python can become really dangerous.
Though it doesn't have any fangs or venom, what it does have is a set of around 100 small, sharp teeth which can cause substantial needle-like lacerations.
Without venom, carpet python primarily uses constriction to kill their pray. Or the intruder.

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.
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!
In the pond!!! never seen anything like it. He was certainly alive with his head sticking out. Seemed quite comfortable
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!
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.
It's Saturday night and these Python Patrol Troopers are stuck on guard duty.
They're officially called Officers, but this figure is one of my favorite Cobra trooper varieties. And one of my favorite army builders, period.
The Burmese Python (Python bivittatus) is a large constrictor originally native to parts of Southeast Asia. The species, capable of growing to over 20 feet long and weighing several hundred pounds, now also call the state of Florida in the Southeastern United States home. The snakes were first imported into the United States due to demand for the exotic pet trade. Wild populations subsequently became established in South Florida from animals that either escaped captivity or were intentionally released. With no natural predators to keep their population in check, it is estimated that over 100,000 of the massive snakes now inhabit the Everglades wetlands. Researchers have documented the pythons preying on more than 70 different animal species, many of which are endangered and found nowhere else. This has placed the sensitive ecology and biodiversity of the Everglades in peril — so much so that local authorities now ask members of the public to participate in annual hunts of the invasive reptiles in order to control their numbers and save native wildlife.

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.
The green tree python is a species of python native to New Guinea, islands in Indonesia, and Cape York Peninsula in Australia. As its name suggests, it is a bright green snake that can reach 2 m in length and 1.6 kg in weight.

I must confess to not being a lover of snakes, but when the gardener at Mt. Coot-tha pointed this sun basking fellow out to us, I couldn't help but take a photo of it. It was slithering its way back under the bush, so its head wasn't visible.
My first snake capture.
I have close to 600 shots so you will see a few more photos from this shoot. Three live pythons. An actual albino python!

This green tree python is still young and hasn't reached it's final color.
Strobist info;
- snake inside light tent
- 3 speedlights balanced outside tent, left, right and behind
Commission and quite possibly my most detailed regular fig yet. Based of the classic British comedy 'Life of Brian', 'Bwian' is my first full 360 painted figure (excluding sides of torso. Wanted to sculpt his hair, but the heat at the moment made the clay too dry to work with, so painted instead. Seems I'm slowely incorperating my 'artwork series' style of painting into regular figs (many different shades making up one part). Hair is prime example of this, but so is the torso basis, which uses very light tan and lots of little white strokes to create a fabric look. All in all pretty cool figure and sad to see it go, but hey, thats why I made it lol.
Also I have 10 legolas heads to work with, so the face styles in upcoming figs, may look fairly similar.
Might do some more 'Python', i.e King Arthur, but I know some others are currently working on those, so he'l be at the bottom of my list.
What do you think?/ Have you seen the film?

Carpet Pythons are a common sight across northern and eastern Australia, with many households unknowingly having residents pythons in their roof - handy to keep rats away!
This large python was photographed in ambush position on a log in monsoonal forest in Darwin.
I'm not a huge fan of snakes but the more I see them at the zoo and learn about them the less intimidating they become.
They are usually asleep or curled under something when I visit but I was lucky to see this huge olive python slithering around on a branch.
The area where the snakes are is also a hard to photograph area and I have never been happy with any of my shots in this area but this one I am happy with.
Also known as Brongersma's short-tailed python, or the Red Short-tailed Python
Location: Peninsular Malaysia
Length: 2.7-2.8 ft.
Toxicity: Non-venomous but quite bad bites (be careful).
The specific name, brongersmai, is in honor of Dutch herpetologist Leo Brongersma. This species is a sought after among exotic pet keepers, hence its location is always kept secret by scientists and herpers.
Behavior: P. brongersmai is a primarily crepuscular species – usually active around dawn and dusk.
Size/Length: Hatchlings of P. brongersmai range from 25–43 cm (10–17 in) in total length (including tail). Adult males typically range from 91–152 cm (36–60 in) in total length, and females between 120–180 cm (48–72 in) although a few have been recorded at 240 cm (96 in).
Reproduction: These snakes generally look overweight due to their robust structure. and reproduce biennially, producing 12 to 16 eggs (Shine et al. 1999). The species feeds on human rodents in oil palm plantations (Shine et al. 1999).
smooth feels wonderful to the touch.
Not slimey as some people think.
Beautiful patterns.
Beautiful colors.
the front end of the Python was attached to my arm.
I think he was about five ft long so only a little one.
Morelia viridis
Despite the name, this youngster is clearly yellow - neonate and juvenile Green pythons exhibit a range of colours though yellow is the only form displayed in the Australian population of this species as far as I know. Minutes after photographing an adult in ambush mode, finding this guy was somewhat of a joke - almost too good to be true!!
