The Black Python or Boelens python are med to large pythons getting 6-9ft in captivity. They are more heavily bodied than their Scrub python relatives with shorter faces and tails. Being predominantly Black in color they have Yellow or White pattern elements in the form of bands. The babies hatch out orangish red and turn black over their first couple years of life. They inhabit highland rainforest regions of the central dividing range on the island of New Guinea.
I current maintain a few specimens of this magnificent species.
