while I was mindlessly photographing some ordinary plant, a 2.5m python was gliding across the path right behind me. Too close to the bull ants for me to attempt a more complete shot
Eastern Carpet Python
Shot @ Bharatpur Bird Sanctuary, took this photograph standing just 1 feet away from this beautiful sleepy creature.

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.

We were at the boulevard the other day where a man had his Albino Burmese Python out for some sun and fresh air. My girls got quite a kick out of it-I did too!
This is "Julius Squeezer" - Burmese Python
Julius is quite large, about 12 feet long and 65 pounds, according to his handlers. It takes three people to carry him safely. He is an animal ambassador at the SDZ Safari Park.
The Burmese python is one of the five largest snakes in the world, native to a large variation of tropic and sub-tropic areas of Southern- and Southeast Asia.
They are often found near water and are sometimes semi-aquatic, but can also be found in trees. They are also excellent swimmers, being able to stay submerged for up to half an hour.
Burmese pythons are carnivorous. Their diet consists primarily of appropriately sized birds, mammals
and vermin. IUCN has recently listed the Burmese python as "Vulnerable". Wikipedia
Hope you enjoyed my pics:)

The Calusa Nature Center & Planetarium holds various reptiles and amphibians in the main building, as well as a selection of birds in aviaries outside.
One of the invasive species of snake in Florida, this originates in south and southeast Asia.
Apparently Florida has a problem with Burmese Pythons as owners release them into the wild, as well as escaping following Hurricane Andrew.
