This is our Tanimbar Scrub Python (Morelia Nauta). This species of snake is very rare and hard to find in captivity, and we are lucky enough to have one. Our's is 7ft+ and is a frisky fella. Within our first day of owning him he almost bit my face and was successful at bitting my husbands hand. Tanimbar is the region that this species is found, the Tanimbar Islands in the Banda Sea. The Tanimbar is a semi aborial species that can be up to 8ft long. They are VERY slim with a wide rage of different color and patterns. They require a high level of humidity. Out of my own experience with this snake they are very curious but timid at the same time. Ours has a very hardy diet, as majority of this species does. We unfortunately do not handle this snake often due to how timid he is, the slightest movement causes him to strike. Something also very rare about this species is that they have fangs!! They do not have venom, but they certainly do have some mean fangs.
