Description

Savu Python For Sale

The Pythonidae family includes Savu pythons. These are nonvenomous constrictors related to the olive python (L. olivaceous), a considerably bigger python found in northern Australia.

As a subspecies of the Macklot’s python, they were initially described in 1956. (Liasis mackloti). Researchers presented genetic data in 2004 suggesting that the Savu python is a distinct species rather than a subspecies. There is still some debate over this, and some people still refer to it as a subspecies.

The majority of publications, however, list it as a separate species, Liasis savuensis. Lias, a kind of blue limestone, may have inspired the genus name. Their home island is mentioned in the specific name, savuensis. Freckled python, white-eyed python, and sanca mata putih are some of their common names.

Savu Python For Sale Appearance

The dwarf python is a species among the tiniest pythons. Savu pythons typically grow to be around 3.5 to 4.5 feet long, while there have been reports of individuals over 5 feet in length. Its body is long and lean, and it’s covered with iridescent scales that are both smooth and glossy. Large, almost shield-shaped scales cover the snake’s head, and they gradually give way to smaller scales as you move down the snake’s neck.

These snakes’ colors shift considerably from a brilliant reddish brown to orange when they first hatch to a dark reddish brown with rusty patches and speckles as they reach adulthood. Their underchins and bellies are a pure cream hue, however some may have freckles or patches. Some adult Savu pythons maintain some of their red coloring, and occasionally you’ll even spot one that’s virtually black.

Yet, the white color of their eyeballs is what gives this species its other name, the white-eyed python. Their irises are a beautiful cream color, and their pupils are set vertically.

Savu Python For Sale Behavior

As this python is relatively unknown, there is still plenty to learn about it. Savu pythons tend to be tame and nonaggressive. The Macklot’s python, which may also grow quite a bit larger, is the species that may have been meant in reports of irritability. In search of prey, you may frequently spot these snakes slithering between cracks in rocks and stalking vegetation.

In other words, these snakes are crepuscular, or most active at dawn and dusk. They spend little time in the trees and are instead terrestrial and somewhat fossorial. Savu pythons appear to have adjusted well despite the loss of their natural habitat as more land is cleared for agriculture.

Savu Python Natural Habitat and Diet

Savu, a Lesser Sunda Island of around 60 square miles, is the sole known home of these pythons. There has been no confirmation, but it is probable that they are also on Raijua, which is only a few kilometres from Savu. These snakes appear to be generalists that may be found living in any section of the island.

Savu pythons may survive in environments with a broad range of humidity and temperature. Humidity is quickly sucked out of the air by the hot, dry winds that come in from Australia. These snakes are tough, though.

Grassland and palm trees predominate in the landscape of Savu, which is a tropical savanna. The dry winds from Australia lead it to be dry for months each year. Much of Savu is made up of farms and rocky outcrops that testify to the island’s volcanic heritage. While the python may be found anywhere, it is most at home in locations with easy access to fresh water, such as rice paddies. Moreover, they like rocky environments, and may often be seen searching for food in cracks and crevices. Mice, birds, and other small creatures are common fare for savu pythons.

HABITAT: They prefer a thick base of aspen or wood mulch (at least 2 inches), which they may use to burrow through. There should be a hefty bowl of clean water, a hollow log for hiding, and a concave rock or plastic “cave” for protection. One end should be kept at a toasty 90 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a mist if you’re having trouble with excessive shedding.

ORIGIN: Savu Island, near New Guinea
