Your spotting has been nominated for the Spotting of the Week. The winner will be chosen by the Project Noah Rangers based on a combination of factors including: uniqueness of the shot, status of the organism (for example, rare or endangered), quality of the information provided in the habitat and description sections. There is a subjective element, of course; the spotting with the highest number of Ranger votes is chosen. Congratulations on being nominated!

Thanks Neil! They are quite variable in their coloration, as you can see when comparing the first two photos. There are lots more color variations too though!

Oh yes, there are two. What an amazing spotting! Gorgeous series of photos, and beautiful snakes too. I particularly like the 4th photo. your snakes remind me of a snake we have here in Australia called Bredl's Python. Very similar bands and rich golden browns. Lovely :)
