A volunteer at the Bucks County Zoo holds an albino python, as my wife, Jan, reaches out to touch it.
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.

The Woma Python, Aspidites ramsayi, is from Central Australia. It enjoys arid zones and sand plants. Apart from the interesting scale pattern, it is also interesting how this snake kills. Instead of constricting, they press their prey against the walls of their burrow, effectively crushing it. I suppose it's the same principle, but still interesting.

“The 2 icons of 20th century’s Danish furniture design: the “Valet” chair of Hans Wegner and the “Ant” chair of Arne Jacobsen are staying on the retina….What will happen if we crossbreed them? How will their child look like?” This question KOMPLOT Design /Boris Berlin and Poul Christiansen, Denmark/ asked themselves and related it to often faced situation when visiting a restaurant, we miss a good chair-back on which to hang our jacket without it falling on the floor or being crumpled.
PYTHON is a 21st century chair for cafes and restaurants, Internet cafes as well as for reception-rooms with a chair back that holds your jacket like a coat-hanger without it falling on the floor or beeing crumped
PYTHON’s special construction with enlarged thickness in the curve gives very high strenght to the chair making it suitable for regular usage in public spaces
PYTHON collection includes three chairs - PYTHON, PYT and stackable PYT bar chair. PYT has the same shape and construction but without the high back. It suits very well together with PYTHON and allows you to play with forms and colours in the interior. Both - PYTHON and PYT - are offered also with upholstered seat pad
PYTHON collection is available in different natural wood veneers - birch, beech, maple, cherry, walnut, oak, zebrano, wenge. It comes clear lacquered or in wide range of stained finish as well as covered with matted white or black melamine
PYTHON, PYT and PYT bar is stackable up to 8 pieces
Tested according to DIN EN 1728, DIN EN 13761, DIN 68 878 for contractual use in LGA Qualitest GmbH Furniture Test Institute.
TAXONOMY
Family: Pythonidae (Pythons)
Genus/species: Aspidites ramsayi
GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS: Like the black-headed python,
the Woma’s head is unusually narrow for a python. Gray, olive, brown, or red-brown above with darker olive brown to black crossbands on the body. Sides and undersides pale.
DISTRIBUTION/HABITAT: Central and southwest Australia. Found in arid zones on sandplains and dune fields. Shelters in hollow logs, animals burrows, or vegetation during the day.
DIET IN THE WILD: A nocturnal hunter of small mammals, ground birds, and lizards. Because it hunts its prey in narrow tunnels, it cannot throw coils around its target. Instead the snake pushes a loop of its body against the prey, crushing it to death against the side of the burrow.
ACADEMY DIET: One rat every 2 weeks. (M Avila, Academy biologist)
REPRODUCTION: Oviparous, like all pythons. The female coils around the 5–20 eggs, protecting and warming them with heat generated by muscular “shivering” for the 2–3 month incubation period.
REPRODUCTION: This snake is oviparous, like all pythons. The female coils around the five to 20Meggs, protecting and warming them with heat generated by muscular "shivering" for the two to three-month incubation period.
CONSERVATION: Listed as endangered on the IUCN’s Red List. Threats include the clearing of land for agriculture and grazing, and perhaps high predation by foxes and feral cats.
The Adelaide Zoo in South Australia is coordinating a captive breeding program with offspring being released to the wild. Active research is aimed at returning the woma to its former range.
REMARKS: The woma, like its relative the blackheaded python, lacks the heat-sensing pits that border the mouth of most other pythons. The woma is a prized food item for desert Aboriginal people. Hunters follow the track of a woma to its burrow and then dig it out.

West view of the Stadium. The Delphi stadium was located at the highest part of the city, partially cut into the rock. It originally sat down on the Delphian plain but was moved to this position in the 2nd and 3rd centuries A.D. The track was 600 Roman feet long and could hold 17 or 18 runners. Starting in 591 B.C., the athletic portions of the Pythian Games were held here every eight years, commemorating Apollo's slaying of the serpent Python. The stadium could seat about 6500 spectators.
This is one vicious little creature. He experiences great pleasure from gobbling up freshly killed rodents and poking holes in human skin.
I collected these autographs way back when Monty Python were filming the village idiot sketch in Heydon, Norfolk in the 1970's. I would have been in my early teen years. Sadly I know all the sketches off by heart...but then, don't we all?
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.

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.
