Jungle Carpet Python (Morelia spilota cheynei)

When one of the nations' largest
breeders disbanded their breeding groups of this form, we immediately
grabbed up the top four. Bright lemon yellows and dark brownish
blacks. At well over six feet in length, these are also some of the tamest
jungle carpets we have ever seen. Lovely! |
