Posted @withregram • @malleecma WILDLIFE FACTS – MURRAY-DARLING CARPET PYTHON 🐍📖⠀ ⠀ Scientific name: Morelia spilota metcalfei⠀ ⠀ Murray-Darling Carpet Pythons live in trees and logs with hollows or rocky outcrops with dense bark / leaf litter and shrub cover.⠀ ⠀ This species lives at Hattah-Kulkyne National Park, although are difficult to see because they are nocturnal and often coiled up inside a hollow or under dense shrubs. They feed on small mammals and birds – by first coiling their bodies tightly around their prey to suffocate them and then eat them.⠀ ⠀ The snake pictured is a 2.7 metre long Murray-Darling Carpet Python called Ruby, which belongs to EnviroEDU right here in Mildura.⠀ ⠀ If you would like to read all about the Murray-Darling Carpet Python just check out page 15 of our free Hattah-Kulkyne National Park Wildlife Detective Activity Book, which you can find at the Mildura Visitor Information Centre.⠀ ⠀ Alternatively, you can download digital version from the Mallee CMA website.
