It is known for its striking pattern of tan, brown, and black markings that provide excellent camouflage in natural habitats.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp data-end=\"1702\" data-start=\"1483\"\u003eThis species is semi-arboreal and often utilizes trees, shrubs, and rocky areas while hunting. Like other carpet pythons, it is primarily nocturnal and uses constriction to subdue prey such as small mammals and birds.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp data-end=\"2043\" data-start=\"1704\"\u003eIn captivity, Irian Jaya Carpet Pythons adapt well when provided with a spacious enclosure that includes climbing opportunities, secure hiding areas, and proper thermal gradients. Maintaining stable temperatures, moderate humidity, and a diet of appropriately sized prey supports healthy growth, natural behaviour, and overall wellbeing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Viperia UK","offers":[{"title":"Female","offer_id":52885259583825,"sku":"papuan-carpet-python - 002","price":299.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Unsexed","offer_id":53837098221905,"sku":"papuan-carpet-python - 003","price":299.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0963\/0403\/8225\/files\/Morelia-Spilota-Harrisoni_3.jpg?v=1769510924","url":"https:\/\/viperia.co.uk\/products\/papuan-carpet-python","provider":"Viperia UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
