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.
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.
Watching this python resting below the surface of his pond; he gradually moved toward the surface and just poked his snout and eye above the surface... so fascinating and yet thankful there is a viewing glass in between us.

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.
This green tree python is still young and hasn't reached it's final color.

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?

Southern African rock python.
German: Südliche Felsenpython.
The approx. 2m (2.2 yd.) long constrictor is just as frightened as the two Zulu men.
Rock pythons can grow up to 5m (5.5 yd.) long. Habitat Southern Africa.

were named "carpet pythons" because their patterns were thought to resemble oriental rugs. "Shaggy" is a jungle carpet python (Morelia spilotes cheynei). Carpet pythons are native to Australia. Photo by Frank.
Python bivittatus
A young adult found on the crawl after a heavy thunderstorm in the Florida Everglades. At only a two to three years of age, pythons can exceed 6-7 feet in length and are as large as any native snake species as found within the region. Their growth rate and generalist diet makes them quickly able to outcompete native species and not get bothered by many predators. This snake was removed from the national park and turned into scientists with USGS where it will be humanely euthanized and necropsied.

I was very happy to see the young Royal python again on Saturday. Such a beautiful little snake. Taken on a photography day with CaptiveLight in Bournemouth.
contact me on nick.volpe3@hotmail.com for usage of this image.
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.
We had a marvelleous day at the Captive Light Repitile Plus photoshoot in Bournemouth. Here's a Royal Python to start off the show. Thanks go to my flickr friends Helen and Sue for telling me about this and for my flickr friend Elle for keeping me supplied with sucky sweets on the car journey.

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).
Morelia viridis, commonly known as the green tree python, or as it is known in the herpetoculture hobby, chondro is a species of python found in New Guinea, islands in Indonesia, and Cape York Peninsula in Australia
Wikipedia: The reticulated python (Malayopython reticulatus) is a species of snake in the family Pythonidae. The species is native to South Asia and Southeast Asia. It is the world's longest snake and listed as least concern on the IUCN Red List because of its wide distribution. In several range countries, it is hunted for its skin, for use in traditional medicine, and for sale as a pet. It is an excellent swimmer, has been reported far out at sea and has colonized many small islands within its range. It is among the three heaviest snakes. Like all pythons, it is a non-venomous constrictor. Adult people have been killed (and in at least two reported cases, eaten) by reticulated pythons.
This particular python was killed by my friend who lives a few blocks away from me. He raises prize chickens and some of them went missing. He caught it raiding the chicken coop one night. It was 3.1 meters (10' 2") long.
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!!

One of the least discussed repaints, but a surprisingly nice looking figure, albeit overpriced and pretty useless.

The Dead Parrot Sketch
Monty Python
The Pet Shoppe
A customer enters a pet shop.
Customer: 'Ello, I wish to register a complaint.
(The owner does not respond.)
C: 'Ello, Miss?
Owner: What do you mean "miss"?
C: I'm sorry, I have a cold. I wish to make a complaint!
O: We're closin' for lunch.
C: Never mind that, my lad. I wish to complain about this parrot what I purchased not half an hour ago from this very boutique.
O: Oh yes, the, uh, the Norwegian Blue...What's,uh...What's wrong with it?
C: I'll tell you what's wrong with it, my lad. 'E's dead, that's what's wrong with it!
O: No, no, 'e's uh,...he's resting.
C: Look, matey, I know a dead parrot when I see one, and I'm looking at one right now.
O: No no he's not dead, he's, he's restin'! Remarkable bird, the Norwegian Blue, idn'it, ay? Beautiful plumage!
C: The plumage don't enter into it. It's stone dead.
O: Nononono, no, no! 'E's resting!
C: All right then, if he's restin', I'll wake him up!
(shouting at the cage)
'Ello, Mister Polly Parrot! I've got a lovely fresh cuttle fish for you if you show...(owner hits the cage)
O: There, he moved!
C: No, he didn't, that was you hitting the cage!
O: I never!!
C: Yes, you did!
O: I never, never did anything...
C: (yelling and hitting the cage repeatedly) 'ELLO POLLY!!!!!
Testing! Testing! Testing! Testing! This is your nine o'clock alarm call!
(Takes parrot out of the cage and thumps its head on the counter. Throws it up in the air and watches it plummet to the floor.)
C: Now that's what I call a dead parrot.
O: No, no.....No, 'e's stunned!
C: STUNNED?!?
O: Yeah! You stunned him, just as he was wakin' up! Norwegian Blues stun easily, major.
C: Um...now look...now look, mate, I've definitely 'ad enough of this. That parrot is definitely deceased, and when I purchased it not 'alf an hour ago, you assured me that its total lack of movement was due to it bein' tired and shagged out following a prolonged squawk.
O: Well, he's...he's, ah...probably pining for the fjords.
C: PININ' for the FJORDS?!?!?!? What kind of talk is that?, look, why did he fall flat on his back the moment I got 'im home?
O: The Norwegian Blue prefers kippin' on it's back! Remarkable bird, id'nit, squire? Lovely plumage!
C: Look, I took the liberty of examining that parrot when I got it home, and I discovered the only reason that it had been sitting on its perch in the first place was that it had been NAILED there.
(pause)
O: Well, o'course it was nailed there! If I hadn't nailed that bird down, it would have nuzzled up to those bars, bent 'em apart with its beak, and VOOM! Feeweeweewee!
C: "VOOM"?!? Mate, this bird wouldn't "voom" if you put four million volts through it! 'E's bleedin' demised!
O: No no! 'E's pining!
C: 'E's not pinin'! 'E's passed on! This parrot is no more! He has ceased to be! 'E's expired and gone to meet 'is maker!
'E's a stiff! Bereft of life, 'e rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed 'im to the perch 'e'd be pushing up the daisies!
'Is metabolic processes are now 'istory! 'E's off the twig!
'E's kicked the bucket, 'e's shuffled off 'is mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisibile!!
THIS IS AN EX-PARROT!!
(pause)
O: Well, I'd better replace it, then.
(he takes a quick peek behind the counter)
O: Sorry squire, I've had a look 'round the back of the shop, and uh, we're right out of parrots.
C: I see. I see, I get the picture.
O: I got a slug.
(pause)
C: (sweet as sugar) Pray, does it talk?
O: Nnnnot really.
C: WELL IT'S HARDLY A BLOODY REPLACEMENT, IS IT?!!???!!?
Thanks for viewing and favein.

Back Story ..........................................
Left home at 4:15AM, arrived at 5:15AM.
Rocky and Mama greeted me at the gate.
Food was laid out, both dogs had breakfast.
Daylight is an hour away so Mama and I both
took a short nap. Rocky ran home to the nuns.
At first light we gathered up the food bags plus the camera then left to feed The Leroy Crew.
While going across the cement walking bridge Rocky and his gang of hooligans met us, so that took a few more minutes.
Each one of them demanded their quota of attention, big fun.....;-)
Now the excitement starts.....................................................................
Usually when I arrive at The Leroy Crews turf Tuff Guy is first to jump up on the rock wall and receive his morning meal.
Honey and new puppy run over next to the head monk and wait their turn............... Not Today ! ...............
Tuff Guy saw me alright but his nose was in the air, air scenting.
He smelled something that had his full undivided attention.
Like a rocket Tuff Guy took off for a cement pipe on the edge of the swamp. This is maybe 50 feet away, possibly 60 feet.
Monkeys are going ballistic, screaming, yelling, absolute panic. They all ran up into the trees and onto the nearby roofs.
Sure enough TG had scented a large python coming out of the swamp and into a drain pipe. The Thais quickly started a fire on the other end of the pipe to keep the snake from entering a building used as the temple kitchen, not good !!!
In short order the snake was yard-ed out of the pipe with a strong bamboo stick . Lots of fighting with the snake striking at anything within reach, that included me ! Well, Mostly Me !
.......... Please Don't Try This at Home ..........
Ok, in this photo that's my left hand ah-hold of the snakes tail while walking backwards at a fast clip. Keeping the snakes head as far away from me as possible was the whole idea ! Snake kept striking at the puppy who kept barking at the snake. Monkeys are all screaming in their own state of panic !
Dogs are all barking in a frenzy as the head monk and a few workers are talking real fast about the crazy photo man .. ;-)~
.
Now I'll answer your first question so you don't have to ask it.
Snake was put into a real large rice sack and transported off temple grounds by a local farmer.
Thanks for dropping by and leaving your comments.
Greatly Appreciated.............................................................
Thank You.

Also known as Bredl's python, this is a very beautiful, rarely seen species that inhabits the central ranges of Australia. Finding this species was one of two special highlights amongst a host of amazing wildlife encounters I was lucky enough to have this passing wet season.
