Jungle (cheynei)
A variant of Carpet Python (Morelia spilota)
The high-contrast black-and-yellow subspecies (M. s. cheynei) from Queensland rainforest, the most popular carpet for its vivid coloration. Smaller and more arboreal than coastals.
Keeper tips for this variant
Provide sturdy elevated branches—jungles are keen climbers—and expect a 'snappy' attitude in youngsters that calms with consistent, confident handling.
