The 14-foot Burmese python checks out its habitat as the Denver Museum of Nature and science welcomes more than 60 climbing, slithering, hanging specimens in the new temporary exhibit, "Lizards & Snakes" which opens Friday, Feb. 3, 2012.

The exhibit is free with a paid admission to the museum and runs through July 8, 2012. Kathryn Scott Osler, The Denver Post
