A pair of pythons shared a single branch

As the tour boat neared this small flooded villiage, the family loaded themselves into two dugout canoes and came out to meet us. The father showed off a large python around his arm as a means to attract customers.

This python was hidden behined large bouders and didn't appear as if it wanted to emerge. But after a short wait, it briefly stuck it head out to be photographed. Zoo python are behind glass which makes it hard to move around to get a good shot.
