Morelia spilota metcalfei is a carpet python subspecies found in Australia, commonly known as the Murray Darling carpet python. The pythons are non-venomous snakes that constrict their prey. They grow up to 2.7m, but adults are usually around 2.4m. These pythons are semi-arboreal, typically inhabiting rocky outcrops, dry woodlands, riverine forests and flood plains. Common names: inland carpet python, murray darling carpet python, MD carpet python, Victorian carpet python.
