Stimson's Python
/
Antaresia stimsoni or Stimson's Python
Stimson's Python is a small snake only reaching about a meter in length. As a python, they are non-venomous.
Spotted pythons occur in dry inland areas, from the coast of Western Australia through the country to west of the Great Dividing Range, preferring to live in areas with rocky outcrops. They come out at night to feed on small lizards, frogs and mammals.
The female Stimson's python lays clutches of 7-9 eggs, which the female will incubate (a typical python behaviour). Incubation should last for about 50 days but may change depending on the temperature.
