Jungle Carpet Python

This Jungle Carpet Python was brought by its owner in Germany three years ago as a baby. They occur in a wide variety of habitats, from the rainforests of northeastern Queensland through the River Red Gum/ Riverbed woodlands of the Murray and Darling Rivers. Described as semi-arboreal, they are largely nocturnal, climbing trees and shrubs as well as crossing open areas such as rock faces, forest floors and even roads.
