The coastal carpet python (Morelia spilota mcdowelli) is one of Australia’s largest and most recognisable non-venomous snakes. Reaching average lengths of 2–3 metres, with exceptional individuals exceeding 3.5 metres, this impressive reptile occurs throughout coastal and sub-coastal regions of eastern Australia, from south-east Queensland to eastern New South Wales. Its distinctive olive, brown and black patterning, overlaid with cream or golden markings, provides excellent camouflage amongst leaf litter, tree bark and rocky outcrops.
