Fact from pet snake care : Carpet Pythons are large Australian constrictors, the smallest of which is the Irian Jaya Carpet Python. This beautiful and powerful constrictor reaches a length of 5 – 7 feet and is ideal for anyone who wants to own one of these impressive and beautiful snakes but has limited space. Some other Carpet Python subspecies such as the Coastal Carpet Python (M.s.mcdowelli) can reach lengths exceeding 12 feet.

Irian Jaya Carpet Pythons are slender constricting snakes with large heads that are very distinct from their bodies and they are found naturally in New Guinea and the far northern coast of Australia. These nocturnal snakes are also sometimes known as West Papuan Carpet Pythons.

Saturn, my beautiful and sweet girl, I love you so so much 🤍 Snakes are so misunderstood and hated by the majority of humans, and it makes me so sad. If people would only take the time to learn a little about them they would realize how incredibly smart, curious, adorable and important to our world they are. We need more kind and compassionate people. The animals who can’t speak for themselves deserve it.
