Diamond python. and l said AUSTRALIAN pythons.
can not help with sites, but if you email me I have a couple of awesome pics of a humungous australian python. I am scared of snakes as a rule, but these pics just stopped me in my tracks because of their sheer size. I never knew that those buggers had such huge teeth! It gave me nightmares.
This one is good!
King snake.com has links to all kinds of information about snakes of any kind.
Here is a good forum for carpet pythons:

It is a rather vague question. Do you have a particular type of Australian python in mind, or do you just want general information on them? What ''other reptiles'' are you referring to? Other snakes, lizards or turtles? You might just try typing in Australian pythons and see what you get. As far as other reptiles.reptiles magazine has a great site that is geared to all reptiles. It is found at reptilechannel.com
What exactly is it that u need to know?
I have owned quite a few snakes. Snakes r fairly low maintaince. They only require fresh water, eat once a week, & cage cleaning every few weeks. Most snakes generally need a maintained temp between 80 & 95 degress.
A ball python is the easiest snake to keep up. The grow to about 4-5 feet long & have very good temperments.
Bermese & reticulated pythons r larger pythons. Both can potientially grow to 20 feet long. The longest recorded reticulated was 27 ft long. These snakes can be dangerous when they reach great lengths.
Red Tail Boas r also great snakes & grow to be about 8 ft though mine reach 12ft before he died. The down fall with red tails is that they can become agressive when not handled properly, as with all snakes.
Corn & Milk snakes do not grow very large (genrally 4ft at most) & do not require as much attention as boas or pythons.
If ur going to purchase a snake for a pet, buy captive bred. Wild caught snakes can have parasites, ticks, & mites.
Try to feed ur snake in a separate encloser. If u feed ur snake in it is tank, they tend to associate the opening of the tank with being fed & may think ur hand is it food.
The more u handle ur reptile the more comfortable it will become with u handling it.
Do not use cedar bark as bedding in tanks. It can carry parasites & mite. News Paper is truly the best bedding, it can easily be removed & does not produce dust. It may not be as appealing a cedar or wood chip, but it is much better for the snake.
Try not to use heat rocks. A lot of snakes will lay on a heat rock until it burns them & they need medical attention.
The tank should have some type of cover for the snake, like a rock or box for the snake to hide in.
Use a heat lamp to heat the tank. The watts determines how hot the bulb will keep the tank. Most snakes r comfortable at about 85/90 degrees. Keep the lamp on one side of the cage, so that one side is cooler than the other. That way if the snake gets to hot he can just move to the other side.
The water bowl should be big enough for the snake to soak in, but not large enough for the snake to potenitally drown himself.
Always use tank clip to secure the top of the tank. Snakes r escape artist.
Do not handle ur snake right after feeding, give him at least 12 hours before handling. You do not want ur snake to spit up it is food.
For feeding, I suggest pre-killed or frozen mice. Live mice & rats can injure ur snake. Your snake should eat a mouse or rats that is twice as large ( in circumfrence) than it is body. Do not over feed ur snake (also known a speed growing) this will cause ur snake to have morw body fat versus muscle.
