Large distinctive python with small fragmented head shields. Four subspecies are currently recognised though a number of distinctly patterned populations occur. It remains to be demonstrated whether these represent additional subspecies or mere colour variants. M. s. spilota (Diamond Python) (Lacépède, 1804) represents the species in eastern N.S.W., from Northern Rivers south to north-eastern Vic: Ground colour dark grey to black. Most scales bear a cream spot. Clusters of all cream or predominantly cream scales form roughly diamond-shaped blotches over back and flanks. Lips cream barred with black.

Two subspecies recognised. L. o. olivaceus: Ground colour dark olive, yellowish-brown to olive-brown, fading laterally. Lips, side of throat, neck and ventral surfaces white to cream. Lips may be finely dotted with darker pigment. TL 2.5m (average). L. o. barroni differs from nominate form in possessing fewer midbody scale rows (58-63 vs 61-80), more numerous ventral scales (374-411 vs 355-377), and in attaining larger average size. Individuals up to 5.5m reported in 1923. Distinguished from L. mackloti in bearing cream (vs yellow) ventral surfaces, and weakly glossed (vs highly iridescent) body scales.

Medium-sized python, not thick-bodied. The head has been likened to the head of a dragon. Jungles have a prehensile tail which aids them in arboreal pursuits. They are not fully aboral like the tree boas and pythons but they will climb on occasion. The brightest jungle carpet python is jet black with bright yellow markings and a pure-white underside. Average colours are yellow-tan blotches on a black base with a pure-white underside. Neonates are tan, black, and white and will lighten with each shed, reaching adult colour by age two or three. Some specimens have been known to darken with each shed; if you want a bright individual view the parents first, or buy a one- or two-year-old snake. This is a nocturnal snake, feeding, shedding, and generally most active during the night.

Ground colour pale yellowish brown to dark purplish brown. Pattern usually obscure, occasionally absent, comprising numerous relatively small dark smooth-edged blotches. These are mostly circular, rarely transversely elongate. Dark streak usually present from nostril through eye to temple. Ventral surfaces whitish with an opalescent sheen. TL 1.02 m. Distinguished from A. stimsoni by nature of pattern (usually weak to absent with little or no indication of a pale anterior ventrolateral stripe vs strong, normally including a pale anterior ventrolateral stripe).

All feeding well.

Womas belong to the genus Aspidites and differ from all other pythons except black-headeds by the absence of heat sensing labial pits. Womas are a medium sized python with dark eyes, quite stout body, short tail, slender yellow to orange coloured head which is slightly set off from the neck, a quite pointed snout and alternate dark and light coloured banding.
