Ball Pythons

Recent found image / google image search obsession: Ball pythons.

According to wikipedia: 'Python regius is a nonvenomous python species found in Africa. This is the smallest of the African pythons and is popular in the pet trade, largely due to its typically docile temperament. It is also known as royal python or ball python.[3] The name "ball python" refers to the animal's tendency to curl into a ball when stressed or frightened.[4] The name "royal python" (from the Latin regius) is based in part on the story that Cleopatra supposedly wore the snake around her wrist.'

The following series of images have been extracted from this Ball Python breeder's website.

A variety of curiously fluid, squirming, dappled, repeated, dotted, geometric, flecked, mosaics / patterns of motley, patchy, pied, spotty, striped, amazing snake skins.

Everything you see is in the past (2002)

Admittedly I'm easily captivated by simple interactive websites; however I am especially glad to have discovered Rafael Rozendaals work. I sympathise with Rozendaal's proclivity towards nostalgic, cheesy clip-art textures, garish colours, and unsubtle gradients, and find his sites highly amusing. These fleeting and light-hearted (somewhat silly) interactives range from the inane to simply brilliant, and the infuriating. Generally they have great sound effects.

Notable works of Rozendaal's which are worth looking at (and clicking on): cold void and from the dark past
