North Western carpet python  Morelia variegata This particular specimen is of a north western carpet python found on One Arm Point close to Broome. This specimen is the first officially found so far south west of the far north western region. I can tell you from my experience when handling this snake that it was extremely pugnacious and I received multiple bites even before I put it through a bit of grief attempting to photo copy its ventral area. I didn't find any differences in scalation though, and all scales fell within the known scale variances of variegata.
