Daintree Rainforest Wildlife photographed at Thylogale by David & Diane Armbrust Amethystine Python  Morelia amethistina   Here he has the head, neck and shoulders down and is working his way over the torso of the pademelon. The python had coils around the body of the pademelon and was exerting enormous pressure in a series of pulses to dislocate and elongate the body of his prey. Looking through the coil of the snake on the left you can see his scale pattern just starting to change as he begins to stretch to accommodate his enormous meal.  This changing scale pattern is very obvious in the next photo.
