Hi, I’m Blackbeard

Arrrr, my name is Blackbeard and I am a Black-headed Python!
My species is found across northern Australia, from Western Australia right through to Queensland.

I haven't had much to do with civilized folk, so I am still getting used to people in my space. I am comfortable for a bit then need time to retreat home. With the right person I'm sure we'll make some great cabin mates!

To keep me happy, you will require a large terrestrial enclosure for me to stretch out, a heat and UV light, a place to hide and a decent sized water bowl.

If you think I might be the perfect fit for your family, please fill out an adoption application today! https://www.rspcaqld.org.au/expression-of-interest-to-adopt

Adoption price: $300
Aspidites melanocephalus
~1.6m
