#olive python

If you want to get hands on with a massive Olive Python like one of the two seen mating here, then reptile shows with Snakeman and Snakebusters are the only logical choice.

Spike's main villain, Dr Carver!

an olive python with the taste for skinks.

This is a fanart I’ve been doing to warm up my hand before drawing for work based on the lovely Fanfic by SusanaRosa “Dribbling mad” in AO3  Chapter 26 “Legolas’s new friend” Very fun to draw!

The common room was full of young elves chattering and laughing, and only about half of them were drunk. Only one of Thranduil’s two sons was drunk. It was clearly Legolas, from his loud voice and exaggerated movements.

That wasn’t particularly worrying to Thranduil. Legolas hadn’t had a chance to truly experience being young and carefree until just recently. That he would go a bit overboard was not exactly a shock. Nor was him having gotten excessively inebriated in the midst of reliable family members and trusted friends troubling to his father.

No, Thranduil was more concerned with the giant shining gray-green snake currently wrapped four times around Legolas’ torso, from the waist on up. The reptile’s triangular head was tenderly cradled in Thranduil’s youngest son’s right elbow, as Legolas addressed it admiringly (if drunkenly).

Thranduil’s youngest son noticed his presence and beamed happily in his father’s general direction.

“Look, Ada!” Legolas caroled excitedly, “I won the prize!”

(...)

Legolas’ new snake seemed to be happy to coil loosely around Thranduil’s son and stare back at Legolas in a manner which seemed almost as adoring as Legolas’ own expression upon introducing Thranduil to his new . . . pet? In any case, the serpent did not appear to be violent.
