Explore Our Pythons for Sale

Our collection may include different python species and captive-bred colour varieties, depending on current availability. Explore the following popular types to learn more about their appearance, natural habitats and care requirements.

Carpet Pythons for Sale

Carpet Pythons (Morelia spilota) are popular among reptile enthusiasts for their intricate patterns, attractive colour variations and adaptability. Native to Australia and parts of New Guinea, they occupy a range of habitats, including forests, woodland areas and environments with suitable climbing opportunities.

Their appearance varies according to locality and variety. Many display combinations of brown, black, cream, gold and grey markings that create a distinctive carpet-like pattern across the body.

Carpet Pythons are capable climbers and benefit from an enclosure that provides sufficient floor space, sturdy branches, secure hiding places and a suitable temperature gradient. Their environmental requirements should be tailored to the particular variety.

These snakes commonly eat appropriately sized whole prey, usually rodents in captivity. Feeding frequency should reflect age, size and body condition.

Carpet Pythons can be an appealing choice for keepers who appreciate patterned snakes and can provide secure, appropriately sized housing. Research the expected adult size and temperament of the specific variety before purchasing.

Spotted Pythons for Sale

Spotted Pythons (Antaresia maculosa) are relatively small Australian pythons recognised for their dark spots against a lighter background. Their compact size and distinctive markings make them popular among enthusiasts looking for a smaller python species.

Compared with many larger pythons, Spotted Pythons generally require less space, although their enclosure must still provide sufficient room for movement, hiding and thermoregulation.

They are primarily terrestrial but may also use low climbing structures. A suitable enclosure should include secure hiding places, appropriate heating, a temperature gradient and fresh water.

Spotted Pythons commonly eat appropriately sized rodents in captivity. Young animals generally need more frequent meals than adults, with feeding schedules adjusted according to growth and body condition.

Their manageable adult size can make them worth considering for prepared beginners, provided their husbandry needs are understood. Always review the individual animal's feeding history and expected adult size before purchasing.

Children's Pythons for Sale

Children's Pythons (Antaresia childreni) are small Australian pythons named after zoologist John George Children. They are appreciated for their relatively compact size, attractive patterns and suitability for appropriately prepared keepers.

Their colouration can include brown, tan, reddish or cream tones, often with darker markings that may become less pronounced as they mature.

Children's Pythons need a secure enclosure with adequate floor space, hiding places and suitable temperatures. They may use low branches and other safe climbing structures, although they are not as specialised for arboreal living as some tree-dwelling python species.

Their diet generally consists of appropriately sized whole prey, commonly rodents in captivity. Establish a suitable feeding routine based on age, size and body condition.

Before purchasing a Children's Python, confirm its identification, feeding history and expected adult size. Its relatively small size does not remove the need for proper heating, secure housing and long-term care.

Black Blood Pythons for Sale

Black Blood Pythons are a dark-coloured variety associated with the Short-Tailed Python complex, particularly Python curtus. They are known for their heavy bodies, compact proportions and distinctive dark colouration.

Blood Pythons are native to parts of South-East Asia and are generally more heavily built than many similarly sized python species. Their appearance can include dark brown, blackish or reddish tones, depending on the individual and variety.

These snakes require a secure, well-designed enclosure with enough floor space to accommodate their body size. Suitable temperatures, carefully managed humidity, hiding places and clean water are essential.

Blood Pythons are powerful constrictors and can be defensive when stressed. Their size, strength and handling requirements mean that prospective keepers should research the species carefully and seek experienced guidance.

They commonly eat appropriately sized whole prey in captivity. Feeding should be managed according to body condition to prevent excessive weight gain.

Borneo Blood Pythons for Sale

Borneo Blood Pythons are associated with the Short-Tailed Python complex and are admired for their heavy bodies and attractive colour patterns.

Their appearance can include deep reddish-brown, orange, tan or darker markings. Individual colouration varies, and the name may be used differently by sellers, so confirm the exact identification before purchasing.

Like other Blood Pythons, they need secure terrestrial housing, suitable temperatures, appropriate humidity and sufficient space to move comfortably. Their enclosure should include secure hiding places and a reliable source of fresh water.

Borneo Blood Pythons are powerful snakes that require respectful handling and careful management. Their feeding response and temperament vary between individuals.

Before purchasing one, consider its expected adult size, enclosure requirements and your experience with heavier-bodied constrictors.

White-Lipped Pythons for Sale

White-Lipped Pythons, commonly associated with Leiopython albertisii, are striking snakes native to New Guinea and nearby islands. They are admired for their dark colouration and the contrasting pale scales around the mouth that give them their common name.

Their scales can display iridescent tones under suitable lighting, creating an attractive appearance. Depending on the individual, the body may appear dark brown, blackish or bronze.

White-Lipped Pythons require secure housing, suitable temperatures, carefully managed humidity and appropriate hiding places. Their environmental conditions should reflect their natural habitat and the requirements of the particular species or form.

They can be more defensive and challenging to handle than some commonly kept beginner pythons. Prospective owners should research their temperament, feeding behaviour and husbandry needs before purchasing.

White-Lipped Pythons are generally best suited to keepers who have experience maintaining snakes and can provide consistent, species-appropriate care.

Green Tree Pythons for Sale

Green Tree Pythons (Morelia viridis) are renowned for their vivid green colouration and arboreal lifestyle. Native to New Guinea and nearby islands, they spend much of their time resting on branches in forest habitats.

Young Green Tree Pythons can display yellow, red, orange or other contrasting colours before developing their characteristic adult colouration. The exact changes depend on the individual and its genetic background.

Their specialised arboreal lifestyle means their enclosure should prioritise secure horizontal branches, elevated resting positions, suitable humidity and good ventilation. They also need carefully controlled temperatures and access to cooler areas.

Green Tree Pythons commonly eat appropriately sized whole prey in captivity. Their feeding response and tolerance of disturbance vary, so handling should be kept to what is necessary.

These snakes are particularly attractive to experienced keepers interested in arboreal reptiles. Their specialised environmental requirements make thorough preparation essential.

Diamond Pythons for Sale

Diamond Pythons are a recognised form of Carpet Python, generally associated with Morelia spilota spilota. They are native to parts of south-eastern Australia and are admired for their dark colouration and contrasting cream or yellow diamond-like markings.

Their intricate patterns create a distinctive appearance that sets them apart from many other python varieties.

Diamond Pythons need secure enclosures with sufficient space, climbing opportunities, hiding places and an appropriate temperature gradient. Because their environmental needs differ from those of tropical species, their care should be based on reliable guidance for this particular form.

They commonly eat appropriately sized rodents in captivity. Feeding schedules should be adjusted according to age, size and body condition.

Before choosing a Diamond Python, research its expected adult size and environmental requirements, including suitable seasonal temperature management where relevant.

Angolan Pythons for Sale

Angolan Pythons (Python anchietae) are distinctive snakes native to parts of southern Africa. They are admired for their pale backgrounds, dark markings and attractive, irregular patterns.

They are generally smaller than some of the world's largest python species, although they still require secure housing and sufficient space for their adult size.

Angolan Pythons need an enclosure with a suitable temperature gradient, hiding places and environmental conditions tailored to the species. Avoid assuming that the care requirements of a tropical rainforest python will automatically suit this snake.

They commonly eat appropriately sized whole prey in captivity. Feeding should be adjusted according to age, size and body condition.

Angolan Pythons may appeal to enthusiasts interested in less commonly encountered species. Before purchasing, confirm the animal's identification, origin, feeding history and applicable legal requirements.

Savu Pythons for Sale

Savu Pythons (Liasis savuensis) are relatively small pythons associated with Savu Island in Indonesia. They are known for their dark colouration, pale markings and distinctive appearance.

Their compact size can make them interesting to keepers who prefer smaller python species, although their specific environmental and behavioural requirements still need to be understood.

Savu Pythons need secure housing, appropriate temperatures, hiding places and a suitable temperature gradient. Their enclosure should be designed to accommodate their activity level and provide a stable environment.

They commonly eat appropriately sized whole prey in captivity. Ask the seller about the animal's established diet and feeding history before purchasing.

Because Savu Pythons are less commonly kept than some familiar pet snakes, prospective owners should seek reliable species-specific care information and confirm the availability of appropriate veterinary support.

Woma Pythons for Sale

Woma Pythons (Aspidites ramsayi) are Australian snakes known for their attractive bands, earthy colours and relatively streamlined bodies. Their patterns may include combinations of brown, orange, tan and cream.

Unlike many other pythons, Woma Pythons do not have the heat-sensing labial pits typical of several other python groups. They are primarily terrestrial and are adapted to a range of Australian environments.

Their enclosure should provide sufficient floor space, secure hiding places, suitable substrate and a carefully managed temperature gradient. Safe opportunities for natural movement and exploration are also beneficial.

Woma Pythons commonly eat appropriately sized whole prey in captivity. Feeding schedules should reflect age, size and body condition.

Their distinctive appearance and interesting behaviour make them appealing to experienced enthusiasts and well-prepared keepers. Research their specific needs and expected adult size before purchasing.

Red Blood Pythons for Sale

Red Blood Pythons (Python brongersmai) are heavy-bodied snakes native to parts of South-East Asia. They are known for their striking reddish, orange, brown and darker markings.

Their colouration can vary significantly between individuals, with some displaying particularly vivid red tones. Their robust build and distinctive appearance make them popular among enthusiasts interested in heavier-bodied constrictors.

Red Blood Pythons need secure terrestrial housing with suitable temperatures, appropriate humidity and enough floor space for their body size. Clean water and secure hiding places are essential.

Their strength and feeding response mean that keepers should understand safe handling and feeding practices. They may not be the best choice for inexperienced snake owners.

They commonly eat appropriately sized whole prey in captivity. Monitor body condition carefully, as excessive feeding can lead to obesity.

Other Pythons for Sale

The python family includes many additional species and varieties, each with its own appearance, natural habitat and care requirements.

Depending on availability and applicable regulations, other listings may include Calabar Pythons, other Short-Tailed Python varieties and selected larger python species.

Some pythons remain relatively small, while others can reach several metres in length and require extensive housing and experienced management. Their temperature, humidity, feeding and handling requirements also vary.

If you are considering a less familiar python, ask for its scientific name, expected adult size, origin, feeding history and recommended husbandry.

Always confirm current availability and legal status before purchasing. A species appearing in an older category or site map does not necessarily mean it is currently offered for sale.

Why Choose a Python as a Pet?

Pythons are popular among reptile enthusiasts because of their diverse patterns, fascinating behaviours and wide range of sizes. Their variety means that keepers can explore species with very different appearances and natural lifestyles.

Smaller species, such as Spotted Pythons and Children's Pythons, may be suitable for prepared beginners. Other species have specialised environmental requirements, defensive temperaments or adult sizes that make them more appropriate for experienced keepers.

Before purchasing a python, consider:

• Its exact species and expected adult size.
• The enclosure space it will need throughout its life.
• Its temperature and humidity requirements.
• Whether it needs terrestrial, arboreal or mixed enclosure features.
• Its feeding requirements and established prey type.
• Its temperament and safe handling needs.
• Its expected lifespan and long-term costs.
• Access to a veterinarian experienced in reptile medicine.
• The availability of experienced help for larger or stronger species.
• Any legal restrictions affecting ownership, transport or importation.

Many commonly kept pythons can live for 15–25 years or longer in captivity with appropriate care, depending on the species and individual. Some may live considerably longer.

Owning a python is therefore a long-term commitment that requires preparation, regular monitoring and responsible care.

How to Choose the Right Python

Different pythons suit different keepers. Consider the following factors before deciding which species to purchase.

Species and Adult Size

Python species vary enormously in adult size. Smaller species may reach around 60–120 cm, while many commonly kept medium-sized species grow to approximately 120–200 cm. Larger species can exceed several metres.

These ranges are broad examples rather than fixed limits. Research the expected adult size of the exact species and variety before purchasing.

The enclosure must accommodate the animal as it matures. Do not select a species solely because a young individual currently appears small.

Experience Level

Some smaller python species may suit prepared beginners who have researched their requirements. Others, including Green Tree Pythons and heavier-bodied Blood Pythons, can demand more specialised knowledge.

Very large constrictors require additional consideration because of their strength, feeding response and handling risks. Some species should only be kept by experienced adults with suitable facilities and appropriate assistance.

Choose a python that matches your experience and ability to maintain suitable conditions.

Colour and Pattern

Pythons display a remarkable variety of colours and markings. You may prefer the intricate patterns of a Carpet Python, the spotted appearance of a Children's Python, the vivid green scales of a Green Tree Python or the reddish tones of a Blood Python.

Captive breeding has also produced different colour and pattern varieties in some species. Ask the seller to confirm the animal's identification and available genetic background rather than relying on a commercial name alone.

Feeding Requirements

Most commonly kept pythons eat appropriately sized whole prey, usually rodents in captivity. However, feeding frequency and prey size vary according to species, age, body condition and activity level.

Ask about the snake's feeding history, accepted prey items and any known feeding difficulties before purchasing.

Temperament and Handling

Python temperament varies between species and individuals. Some commonly kept species can become accustomed to careful handling, while others may be defensive or sensitive to disturbance.

A snake's temperament can also change with stress, shedding, feeding and environmental conditions. Never assume that a particular species or colour variety will always be docile.

Larger pythons require particular caution. Plan for safe enclosure access, appropriate handling procedures and experienced assistance where necessary.

Health and Feeding History

Ask about the animal's age, recent meals, shedding and any known health concerns.

Where possible, obtain feeding records and available veterinary information. Check for signs of respiratory problems, unusual discharge, mouth lesions or repeated shedding difficulties.

Legal Requirements

Check the regulations that apply to keeping, selling, transporting and importing the species in your country or region.

Some large python species are subject to restrictions, permits or additional requirements. International trade in certain species may also be regulated.

Verify the relevant rules before arranging a purchase or transport.

Python Care Guide

Proper husbandry is essential for maintaining a healthy python. Because the python family includes species from very different environments, care should always be tailored to the exact animal.

Enclosure and Housing

Pythons need secure housing that allows them to move naturally, hide and regulate their body temperature. The enclosure design should reflect whether the species is terrestrial, arboreal or uses both ground-level and elevated spaces.

A suitable habitat should include:

• Secure, escape-resistant doors or a locking lid.
• Sufficient space for the snake's expected adult size.
• Secure hiding places in warmer and cooler areas.
• Appropriate substrate for the species.
• Sturdy branches and elevated resting areas for arboreal species.
• A stable bowl of fresh drinking water.
• Heating equipment controlled by a thermostat.
• Reliable temperature and humidity monitoring.
• Appropriate ventilation.
• Safe environmental enrichment.

Larger pythons require particularly robust enclosures. Check all doors, locks, ventilation gaps and cable openings regularly.

Provide sufficient cover for the snake to feel secure, and avoid overcrowding the enclosure with decorations that restrict movement.

Temperature and Heating

Pythons are ectothermic, meaning they rely on external heat sources to regulate their body temperature.

Their enclosure should provide a temperature gradient with warmer and cooler areas. Exact temperatures vary by species.

As a broad example, some commonly kept terrestrial pythons may need a warm area around 30–32°C and a cooler area around 24–27°C. These figures are not suitable for every python, and arboreal or species from different climates may require different conditions.

Use a thermostat to regulate heating equipment and digital thermometers to monitor temperatures at the snake's level. Avoid uncontrolled heating and ensure the animal cannot come into direct contact with equipment that may cause burns.

Research the exact species before setting up its enclosure. Stable, species-appropriate temperatures are essential for digestion, activity and general health.

Humidity and Hydration

Humidity requirements vary according to the python's natural habitat. Some species require moderate humidity, while others need more humid conditions or careful management during shedding.

Monitor humidity with a suitable hygrometer and maintain adequate ventilation. Persistently damp substrate and poor airflow can contribute to health problems.

Provide fresh drinking water at all times and clean the bowl regularly. Some larger pythons may benefit from a water container large enough to allow soaking, provided the enclosure remains clean and the animal can enter and leave safely.

A humid hide may help certain species during shedding. Follow reliable species-specific guidance rather than applying one humidity level to every python.

Lighting and Day-Night Cycles

Provide a consistent day-night cycle to support normal behaviour. Appropriate lighting can help establish a predictable daily rhythm, and suitable UVB lighting may offer additional benefits when installed correctly.

Lighting requirements vary according to species and enclosure design. Arboreal pythons may use elevated resting areas, while terrestrial species need suitable shaded spaces and ground-level hiding places.

Ensure that lighting equipment does not create excessive temperatures and that the snake can retreat from direct light.

Feeding and Nutrition

Pythons are carnivorous and commonly eat appropriately sized whole prey, usually rodents in captivity.

Pre-killed or frozen-thawed prey is generally preferred over live rodents because live prey can seriously injure a snake. Frozen prey should be thawed and prepared safely before feeding.

Young pythons generally need more frequent meals than adults. Feeding frequency should be adjusted according to species, age, size, prey size and body condition.

Avoid overfeeding, as excessive food intake can contribute to obesity and other health problems. Monitor growth and body condition and adjust the feeding schedule accordingly.

Ask the seller which prey items the snake accepts and how consistently it feeds. If a python repeatedly refuses food, review its environmental conditions and recent handling. Persistent refusal, especially when accompanied by weight loss or other symptoms, warrants veterinary advice.

Shedding

Pythons periodically shed their skin as they grow. Before shedding, their colours may become duller and their eyes may appear cloudy.

Maintain suitable humidity, provide clean water and ensure that the snake has secure hiding places. Avoid unnecessary handling during this period.

After shedding, check that the skin has been removed completely, including around the tail tip and eyes. Repeated incomplete shedding may indicate unsuitable environmental conditions or an underlying health concern.

Never pull retained skin off forcefully. Seek advice from a veterinarian experienced in reptile medicine if shedding problems continue.

Handling and Behaviour

Python handling requirements vary significantly between species and individuals. Some smaller pythons may tolerate careful handling, while others can be defensive or sensitive to disturbance.

Allow a newly acquired python time to settle into its enclosure before beginning regular handling. Support its body securely and avoid sudden movements.

Large constrictors require particular caution because of their strength. Never underestimate the risks associated with handling a large python, and do not handle a large or powerful species alone. Establish safe handling procedures and obtain experienced assistance where appropriate.

Avoid handling immediately after feeding and allow an appropriate digestion period, commonly at least 48 hours for many commonly kept species, unless veterinary advice indicates otherwise.

Wash your hands before and after handling a snake or cleaning its enclosure, as reptiles can carry bacteria such as Salmonella without showing signs of illness.

Individual Housing

Pythons are generally best housed individually. Keeping multiple snakes together can lead to stress, competition, injuries and difficulties monitoring feeding and health.

Some species may prey on other snakes, while shared housing can make it harder to identify which animal has eaten or shed properly.

Individual housing is usually the safer and simpler option for maintaining the welfare of captive pythons.

Cleaning and Health Monitoring

Remove waste promptly, refresh water regularly and replace contaminated substrate as needed.

Monitor appetite, body condition, movement, breathing and shedding. Warning signs can include wheezing, unusual discharge, swelling, mouth lesions, persistent feeding refusal or repeated shedding difficulties.

Consult a veterinarian experienced in reptile medicine if you notice concerning symptoms.

Captive-Bred Pythons and Responsible Sourcing

When browsing Pythons for Sale, ask whether the animal is captive-bred or wild-caught and request available information about its origin.

Responsible captive breeding can provide useful information about an animal's background and feeding history. It may also help reduce pressure on wild populations when carried out appropriately.

However, captive-bred status alone does not guarantee good health. Review the animal's condition, feeding records and any available veterinary information before purchasing.

For colour varieties, ask for the recognised name and available genetic information. Commercial morph names can be used inconsistently, so accurate identification is important.

Check the applicable legal requirements before purchasing or arranging transport. Regulations may differ according to species, country and destination.

Responsible ownership also means planning for the animal's entire lifespan. If you can no longer care for your python, contact an appropriate reptile rescue organisation or local authority rather than releasing it into the wild.

Buying Pythons Online

Buying pythons online can help you compare different species, colour varieties and available captive-bred animals. However, purchasing a live reptile requires careful research and appropriate transport arrangements.

Before completing an order, check the following:

• The exact species and scientific name.
• The animal's age, size and sex, where reliably established.
• Its recent feeding history.
• Its general condition and any known health concerns.
• Available breeding or locality information.
• Its expected adult size and enclosure requirements.
• The seller's live-animal transport arrangements.
• Any live-arrival policy and procedures for reporting delivery concerns.
• Whether delivery is legally available to your destination.
• Any required permits, certificates or import documentation.

Live snakes must be transported using appropriate procedures that account for temperature, journey duration, secure packaging and animal welfare.

Prepare the enclosure before the python arrives and ensure that its temperature, humidity and other environmental conditions are suitable for the exact species.

Prices and availability vary according to species, age, colouration, genetic background and other characteristics. Check individual product listings for current details.
