Black-headed Python Videos

I thought I'd put up two videos of a nice healthy 2.5 metre Black-headed Python we found crossing a dirt track in the afternoon, during the Wodgina fauna survey.The video was taken on our Lumix TZ6 and seemed to come out quite well, especially seeing I had not used the video mode before.

I'm packing and organising my proper video gear at the moment, as we leave for Borneo on Friday. Hopefully a week of birding and videography around Miri in Sarawak. We will be spending a fair bit of time birding with the members of the Miri Branch of the Malaysian Nature Society. A small group of people there, working hard to get local people interested in birds, animals and conservation (please support them). If you are interested, check out their blog at  http://miribirding.blogspot.com/












This python is the same species that was swallowing a large monitor on a previous post at:

  1. So graceful and sinuous. They move surprisingly fast!

  2. Nice video.

    That photo you linked too was amazing, I missed that first time round.
