A ball python (Python regius) is observed resting partially concealed within a hollowed piece of cork bark. The snake's body exhibits a distinct pattern of dark brown to black irregular blotches bordered by lighter tan to beige scales, coiling on a substrate composed primarily of dark brown wood chips and scattered lighter debris. Its head is visible, positioned towards the right side of the frame, emerging from the shelter. Out-of-focus green foliage is present in the upper background, suggesting additional vegetation within the enclosure. This scene is located within an animal exhibit at the Tiergarten Ulm in Ulm, Germany.
