I came across this dead Olive Python on the road to Daly River. At first sight I thought it was a Taipan!
There were many more dead snakes on the road.
This is a relatively small one. I recall seeing a snake taking up the full width of the road back when they first linked McMillans Road to the Stuart Highway! There was a lot of road kill back then, heaps of Quolls too but they're all gone now!
(Morelia spilota)
This beautiful non-venomous python’s thick body has patterns which are blotchy yellow and black. This species of python is a very familiar face for locals who live near Australia Zoo. The Carpet Python is totally harmless despite its potential to reach lengths of up to 3.5 metres. It is usually active at night and spends most of the day coiled up in a tree or rafter, or stretched out basking in an open area.
Habitat
Carpet Pythons can be found in habitats ranging from tropical rainforest in the north-east of Australia to arid and coastal regions. Pythons from different habitats tend to have their own unique colouration. The species is currently divided into six distinct subspecies. The local subspecies that can be seen around Australia Zoo (pictured right) is Morelia spilota mcdowelli.
Diet
Carpet Pythons can normally be seen feeding after dark. They primarily eat mammals and birds, although smaller pythons prefer to eat lizards. Often encountered in suburban areas, you couldn’t find a better rat catcher. Like most pythons, the Carpet Python has heat sensitive pits on their upper and lower lips, which help them detect the body heat of their prey.
Breeding
Once the female Carpet Python lays her eggs, she will coil around her eggs, occasionally shivering to maintain temperatures at an optimum level for embryo development (approximately 30 degrees celcius).
This picture shows an Indian Rock Python, 'Python molurus molurus'. I found this snake resting in the sun directly in the backyard of a hotel I was staying while being on my last visit to Sri Lanka. It didn't even move when I was crouching next to it to take a good photo. For this picture I used my Sony A7II with adapted Sony G 70-300mm at 300mm, F10, 1/320. The picture was taken hand held.

A juvenile Reticulated Python which a farmer had found in his house. He caught it and put it into this cage to wait until a wildlife official could arrive to re-release it into an area where it was less likely to come into conflict with people.

Looking after Cuddles again, had her fer a few weeks now. While I had her out this afternoon she yawned, which was rather alarming. Not as sharp as I'd like but pics don't come easy with a camera in one hand and a snake in the other.
