Antaresia stimsoni

http://www.inlandreptile.com/stimsoni/antaresia%20stimsoni.htm

This is a very small species averaging only 2-3ft in length. This extremely small stature ranks among the three smallest of the world’s python species. Males can mature at an extremely small size and I have personally had males actively breed as small as 60g. On color and pattern elements as well as minor differences in scale counts with considerable overlap between each of the proposed taxons. As a result many do not currently recognize these sub-species as valid. I am currently working with a group of ...

Morelia cheynei

http://www.inlandreptile.com/cheynei/morelia%20cheynei.htm

Even defining what is or is not a jungle carpet python can be difficult. This is a highly variable form and is probably only surpassed by mcdowelli in this regard. As a general rule this is a smaller form of carpet python, with adults typically growing to a length of 5-6ft. Frequently exhibit many other colors not seen in the captive gene pool. Shades of brown, gray and olive frequently adorn wild specimens. There is even a stunning black and white form. The southern edge of the general range of the jung...

Corallus rushenbergerii

http://www.inlandreptile.com/rushenbergerii/corallus%20rushenbergerii.htm

Corallus ruschenbergerii is the largest of the four species that previously been assigned to Corallus hortulanus. This is a recently described species designated in 1997 in a systemic review of the amazon tree boa complex (Henderson 1997). This is easily the most divergent species of the complex, both in morphology and in analysis of its mtDNA. I am currently working with 1.1 c.b. specimens from Costa Rica as well as a single adult male from Trinidad. Antaresia stimsoni (Stimsons python). Corallus hortul...

Morelia bredli

http://www.inlandreptile.com/bredli/morelia%20bredli.htm

Bredls pythons are perhaps the most divergent members of the carpet python complex. Their geographic isolation, along with several morphological and genetic differences have garnered full species status for this form. The most obvious thing about the appearance of M. bredli is the reddish color seen in some specimens. The reddish base color is typically offset by an irregular. Morelia bredli has a small natural range, contained entirely within the south central region of the Northern Territory. These...

Morelia harrisoni

http://www.inlandreptile.com/harrisoni/morelia%20harrisoni.htm

Though all populations on New Guinea are similar this description pertains only to the Indonesian population, as the others are not represented in captive collections. Either banded or striped and there is considerable variation in pattern and color. This is considered to be a smaller form of carpet python with adults rarely exceeding 6’ in length. This population tends to mature smaller and reproduce younger on average than other populations of carpet pythons. There is also a single report from 1920 of ...

Womas typically have a pale brown or beige base color, accented by darker brown irregular banding. The head is generally more intensely colored than the rest of the body, particularly in young animals. Most womas, particularly when young display the characteristic dark eye spots over the eyes which are among this taxons more distinctive features. This is a medium sized python with adults averaging 4-6ft in length. The largest womas are South Australian specimens, which can achieve lengths of 8ft. I am ve...

Corallus hortulanus

http://www.inlandreptile.com/hortulanus/corallus%20hortulanus.htm

Corallus hortulanus is a slender, laterally compressed species growing to lengths of 4-6ft. Like all members of this genus the Amazon tree boa possesses a strongly prehensile tail. This is undoubtedly one of the most variable snake species in the world in terms of color. As its name implies this is a species primarily found in the wet forests of the Amazon and surrounding areas. This species is widely distributed throughout the Guianas and the Amazonia.

Liasis olivaceous

http://www.inlandreptile.com/olivaceous/liasis%20olivaceous.htm

This is one of the largest Australian python taxons. Typical adult size for Liasis olivaceous is 8-10ft with some specimens achieving lengths of 11-12ft. Despite its length the olive python is a relatively slender species, never achieving the body mass of other python taxa of similar length. Olive pythons range throughout most of northern Australia, from the Kimberly region in the west to the western side of the Cape York Peninsula. The Great Dividing Range serves as a natural barrier and as such oli...
