The Amethystine or Scrub python are a medium to large python typically attaining an average adult size in captivity of 10-13ft. They are long and lean and not as heavy bodied as the true giant pythons. They come from rainforest and scrub habitat on the Island of New Guinea and many surrounding islands and archipelagos. There are several forms available in the hobby and their appearance is dependent on the region they come from. Most often occurring in a banded type pattern with occasional pattern less specimens turning up. Color varies from region to region but browns, gold, orange, grey, or straw are common base color with varying intensity of pattern elements in black, brown, grey. Babies are redish orange and near pattern less at hatching changing color into adulthood over several years.
I currently work with specimens from Northern Mainland, Northwestern Birdshead, and the Biak Archipeligo.
