Bismarck Ringed Python
Bothrochilus boa
The Bismarck ringed python is an egg-laying python from the Bismarck Archipelago near New Guinea. Hatchlings have striking orange and black rings, while adults become much darker and their bands may be subdued. Specialist keepers maintain captive lines. Housing needs secure floor space, concealed retreats, water and a controlled tropical thermal gradient, with conditions suited to its forest origin. Bothrochilus boa is a python despite the word boa in its scientific name.
