Massive python spotted at national park in a rare sighting

In a rare sighting, a massive python was spotted at a national park in South Australia’s northern Eyre Peninsula.

South-western carpet pythons – also known as Morelia imbricata – can grow anywhere from two-and-a-half metres to three metres in length and are usually nocturnal but occasionally bask in the sun.

Their natural habitats usually consist of patches of bushland, rocky outcrops and catchment areas.

The species of snake is native to Western Australia’s south and South Australia’s west.
