Hi, I’m Dorothy

Hi my name is Dorothy and I'm a stunning Murray-Darling Carpet Python. My species, as my name suggests, live along the Murray-Darling Basin in central and western New South Wales and Victoria, reaching into southern Queensland.

I have found a safe and comfortable place to live, but I'm still getting used to humans! I will need an experience handler as I am a bit protective of my cage. Being a juvenile I will need to be handled more frequently to get used to people!

I absolutely love my food and. So sometimes I can get a bit overzealous during feeding time. I love to chill out and lay across my rock, soaking in the heat.

I require a UV light and heat lamp, basking area and a suitable sized enclosure for me to stretch out.

If you think I might be the perfect fit for your family, please fill out an adoption application today! https://www.rspcaqld.org.au/expression-of-interest-to-adopt

Adoption Price: $150
