    I am very fond of reptiles (well I should probably say I have hardly come across something I despise:) ) This is an Amethystine Scrub python - Morelia amethistina (read more about it HERE ). Lovely snake has an iridescence on its scales which gives it this sheen. This guy had his head close to the glass :).

    Almost forgot where these guys are you can visit them at Columbus zoo and Aquarium

    look into my eyes

    Oh yeah the one in the comment is a long shot with the other 2 residents(look closely and you will see the two heads side by side).

    Have a fabulous weekend!!

      Yes, it doesn't have any animosity to anything and just needs what it needs to survive. If he looks scary, he's got those looks for his defence, right ? :-)
      Wonderful capture !

      Excellent capture

      M.amethistina rocks thru this catch, de iridescence is due to its recent moulting. Happy to see another Herp ;over. I wud say, I Live for them, they're part of my life.
