They exhibit a wide range of patterns and colours, from dark brown to olive green with intricate markings, which help them blend into their surroundings. These semi-arboreal snakes are adaptable, inhabiting forests, grasslands, and even urban areas. They feed on small mammals, birds, and occasionally reptiles. Carpet pythons are known for their snappy demeanour and manageable size, making them popular pets among reptile enthusiasts.
