Diamond Python (Morelia spilota spilota)

Diamond Pythons are closely related to Carpet Pythons. They reach a body length of 7-9 feet in captivity.

The Diamond Python is covered in an intricately designed diamond pattern. It is covered with white spots, and, normally, there is some variation between individuals ranging from snakes that are predominantly black with a few light spots, to others that have bright yellow scales edged in black plus yellow diamond-shaped patches surrounded by black. Diamond pythons can tolerate lower temperatures than other python species.
