The FWC (Florida wildlife commission) Has used the exceptional snake hunting skills of Irula tribesmen from India to help in their invasive Python removal program. In their first 8 days, the Irula tribesmen, removed 13 Burmese Pythons from S.E. Florida!! !(Over 1,100 hits on Explore so far!)

Burmese Python (Python bivittatus)
Coconut palms and other tropical plants make the background landscape look like this snake's native region of Southeast Asia. However, both the snake and the location are actually South Florida, where the Burmese Python is now a firmly established invasive species. One of the five largest species of snakes in the world, they can attain a length of 18+ feet. This individual was captured as a hatchling in the Florida Everglades. It belongs to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and is used as an educational animal. Photographed with a Canon EOS 7D Mark II, Canon 580ex II Speedlite, and Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 AT-X 116 Pro DX Lens at the UF/IFAS Fort Lauderdale Research and Education Center.
Sony A7iii + 70-200mm f/2.8 GM OSS No flash
I hope everyone is having a great day! Best to you always! 😊
Another approach to designing an origami Python logo. This model is folded from two separate sheets, which allows the snakes to be different colors and have color-change eyes using yet another color.

Back Story ...................
.
OK, I know a lot of you want some updated info on the political situation here in Thailand.
Things have been happening at a very fast pace.Large stashes of weapons and bombs are being discovered nearly everyday.
The daily shootings and grenade attacks have stopped for the most part due to the Coup.
A few hundred politicians and their cronies have been brought in for a friendly chat with the military.
As of this mornings news 5 Trillion Baht $ is missing from the gov coffers.Divide that by 30 to get a close count in US Dollars.
Three million tones of rice is missing from the gov warehouses.
This number is expected to keep rising as the investigation continues.
.
Number #1 wife and I are doing fine, that goes for all the dogs as well.
.
The early heavy rains have brought in a bumper crop of frogs which also brings in a large amount of snakes.
Needless to say Mr Monkey Boy With No Brain 4 Thinking has been very busy fighting Cobras on a daily basses.Sometimes 2-3 times a day ! ...;-(
.
This morning I left at daybreak heading for the monkey temple. The sound of thunder was quite loud but the sky was semi clear.
So I took off anyway.
Zipping down the main road there was a pickup truck about 60+ feet in front of me traveling at the same speed, about 45-mph.
All of the sudden he slams on his brakes. Locking my arms I too slammed on my brakes. Stuff went flying off to the side in front of the truck as I headed for the shoulder of the road.
Instantly I see a motorcycle with a man still attached to the saddle and his head bouncing on the pavement leaving a blood trail.
FYI--- He was Not Wearing a Helmet !!!
Car brakes were locking up all around us, my first reaction was to dismount and give first aid.
At the same instant the truck that had rear ended the bike started to take off. I had to make a quick decision and make it fast !
Knowing there was plenty of people to help the injured rider and a hospital only minutes away I took off in pursuit of the hit an run truck.
.
My little 125cc was wide open, maybe reaching 70+mph. Flying down the road in hopes of getting a photo of his license plate.
The wild man driving the truck was weaving in an out of traffic and gaining distance on me so another decision was made.
I backed off !
It was clear at this point chasing him was a lost cause and now I'm putting not only myself but others is serious jeopardy.
If I had not gone after him I would feel guilty, but at least I gave it some effort. I wish the motorcycle rider well.
.
30 minutes later and about 400 meters from the monkey temple I round a curve and spot this little old farmer dragging what I first thought was a pipe covered with mud or something?.
I know him and his friends as most every trip out they are standing by the road an we wave, smile and nod to each other .
It became clear once I was much closer this was no pipe covered with mud.
Dismounted pulled out the D300 and started shooting.
He was so excited the white man that feeds the dogs had stopped to document his new prize.
This is a 4-5 meter python with 2 chickens inside it's belly.
He will skin it and sell the hide for belts, the meat will be eaten and the 2 chickens inside it's belly will be used for fish bait, nothing left unused.
After we had a big laugh and photos were taken we said our good byes & I continued on to feed the temple dogs.
.
They were, as usual very excited and hungry, all is well ...;-)

6/6/2021 A pet owner showing off his python on the Coney Island boardwalk. Sony a7. 7Artisans 35mm 1:2.0.
my selection of photos of the beautiful Python Pool, tucked away in the Chichester Ranges, Pilbara, West Australia (taken soon after sunrise). The perfect reflection in the small pool of the two huge rock walls was stunning, creating quite an imposing and timeless image.
This carpet python was being harassed by a Currawong
(flic.kr/p/i2LBqe ) in Les Atkinson Park at Sunnybank, and eventually I decided not to get too close, as it was obviously a bit distressed. Eventually it slithered away.
Here is a photo I took of a snake at the Dairy Days in Dryden, NY on Saturday. This wasn't by any means a big snake, these animals can get up to 10 feet long. These can be bought for a pet. Not something I'd ever do because I think they belong in the wild. snakesnuggles.com/what-is-a-reticulated-python/
Python bivittatus
A young adult male found on the crawl on a brutally hot and humid morning in extreme south Florida. This snake was an unexpected surprise while checking a trap line for other invasive species and is only the second python I've seen this year.
This python was sunning itself up high in a tree at "The Polish Place" Mount Tamborine. I thought snakes hibernated in winter? photo was taken on our shortest day of the year.
