Morelia argus latin

There are 6 subspecies listed by ITIS, commonly referred to as carpet pythons and diamond pythons.

They are black with numerous irregular yellow markings arranged in narrow cross-bands, which for inexperienced people can easily lead to confusion with young Diamond Pythons which are superficially very similar and found in the same habitat.

Early descriptions placed this species in other genera, Coluber or Python, and Morelia argus is a synonym for this species.
