Male het Albino Darwin Carpet Python CB20

The Morelia spilota, also known as the carpet python, is a species of snake that primarily feeds on rodents. They require a basking temperature of 85-90°F and are native to Australia.

Carpet pythons can live for 15-20 years or more in captivity with proper care. Providing a hiding spot is recommended to help the snake feel secure, along with regular cleaning of the enclosure to prevent health issues.

Regular handling and socialization can help keep carpet pythons mentally stimulated and prevent aggression. Researching and understanding the specific needs of carpet pythons is crucial to ensure they thrive in captivity.

For a carpet python, a suitable enclosure should be spacious enough to allow for climbing and exploring, with appropriate heating and lighting to mimic their natural habitat. Moreover, offering a range of branch sizes and textures can aid in promoting exercise and muscle development in the snake.

Feeding carpet pythons should consist of appropriately sized rodents, with the feeding frequency determined by the age and size of the snake. Monitoring the snake’s weight and adjusting feeding as needed is crucial to prevent obesity or undernourishment.
