Tired Burmese Python

Burmese Python, either yawning or biting. Since pythons usually squeeze their prey then it might just be stretching the jaw muscles.

Wow. I would instantly wake up with that sigh in front of me. Love the composition, the background suggesting there is nothing but snake :) Posted 14 years ago

Thanks, there was actually a lot of tank there, but the skin was so beautiful, that it had to be cropped. They had this creature marked as 38' long! Posted 14 years ago

This was actually taken on a really old Canon Powershot SD110 (3.2 mp) through a badly scuffed up tank.
I couldn't expect much.... but it was too awesome a moment, not to share.
Sharpened it as much as I could in Photoshop.

The Burmese Python

The Burmese python is one of the five largest snakes in the world, native to a large variation of tropic and subtropic areas of Southern- and Southeast Asia. Until 2009 they were considered a subspecies of "Python molurus", but now are recognized as belonging to a distinct species.
