DIET IN THE WILD: Birds are a favored prey item. Like all pythons, a non-venomous species that kills by constriction. To save energy during the dry season when food and water are scarce, pythons reduce their body temperature.
REPRODUCTION: This snake is oviparous, like all pythons. The female coils around the eggs, protecting and warming them with heat generated by muscular "shivering" for the incubation period.
REMARKS: Like all pythons, a non-venomous species that kills by constriction. To save energy during the dry season when food and water are scarce, pythons reduce their body temperature. Can dig and live in burrows to escape daytime heat.
Color of Life note: Pit vipers, boas and pythons have heat sensing organs which detect infrared wavelengths on their face. This feature that detects heat is used in the dark to detect warm blooded prey.

Diamond python, Harmless ( unless you are a small mammal)
looking for mice in my chicken house. Not what you expect when you go to put the chooks back inside . He doesn't seem to both the hens at all, they just stare at him......better count them just to be sure though.
Leiopython albertisii. The top portion of this snake's head is pitch black, while the bottom of the jaw and belly are a creamy white. The sides of this one are gold, fading into a chocolate brown along its back. The snake is highly lustrous, almost as if it had been painted with pearlescent paint.
This picture is not from me, but I love it.
