Irian Jaya Carpet Pythons

Irian Jaya carpert pythons (Morelia spilota variegata ) are, in our opinion, the most beautiful of all carpet pythons.  Native to Irian Jaya, on the Island of New Guinea, these pythons are most noted for their dramatic color change as they mature.  Hatchlings leave the egg in shades of red and rust, but mature to the typical adult coloration in a few years.  These pythons are relatively slender and seldom reach lengths over six feet.
