Caramel zebra carpet python 66% het albino — from the carpet python complex (Morelia spilota), the semi-arboreal Australian classic whose locality forms and morphs (jungle, coastal, Darwin, zebra, jaguar, caramel, axanthic, albino lines) make up one of the deepest breeding scenes in European herpetoculture. The title above states this animal’s exact form, morph or het status; lineage details are available on request. All our carpets are EU captive-bred and feeding on defrosted rodents with a written record.

Care Basics
Give a carpet height as well as floor: a sturdy branch under the basking zone gets used daily. Hides at both ends, a soak-sized water bowl, weekly juvenile feeds slowing to every two-three weeks in adults. Juveniles can be spirited — that’s confidence, not aggression — and hook-training plus regular calm handling produces the steady, impressive adult the complex is famous for. Albino-line animals prefer softer, shaded basking light.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which carpet form is right for me?
Jungles for colour, coastals for size, Darwins for calm compactness, morph combos for projects. Ask us — matching keeper to carpet is our favourite conversation.
What does “het” mean in a title?
The animal looks normal but carries one copy of a recessive gene (e.g. albino or axanthic) — the economical building block of any morph breeding plan.
