BOELEN PYTHON (Morelia Boeleni)
This secretive and solitary python  is found in  montane tropical forest areas within Irian Jaya and Papua  New Guinea.  Its large, smooth scaled, thick body is accented with a  striking banded  color pattern of white or yellow. However the most  impressive feature  of these spectacular pythons is their black  background color, which has  an awe inspiring iridescent sheen. At  certain angles they appear to be  covered in black velvet. They are truly  a sight to behold.
When handling these gentle giants  they move with a  level of confidence that commands respect. There are  three words that  best capture the essence of the Boelen Python,  majestic, mysterious and  magnificent. They simply are an incredible  animal.

you can see a little of the iridescence on the center snake’s neck, but like an oil slick, in the right light, the entire snake is iridescent. Better seen HERE
