Jungle carpet python: Morelia spilota cheynei

Sif is a female Jungle carpet python that was born in.   When we got her she was over 7 feet long living in a 3x2x1 foot enclosure.  She had been in that same enclosure her whole life.  It was great fun giving her a large enclosure upgrade and watching her be able to explore, climb, and stretch out fully.

The jungle carpets are best know for their bright yellow coloring in captivity but the wild specimens are much more muted.  They can be found in a small area of north eastern Australia and tend to have a skull & cross bones like mark on their head that can distinguish them somewhat from the other carpet pythons.
