Brown Water Python
Liasis fuscus
The brown water python is an egg-laying snake of northern Australia and neighboring New Guinea. Adults are usually dark brown or olive above with a yellowish underside and strong iridescence in reflected light. It is associated with wetlands and is established in specialist collections. Housing needs secure retreats, adequate floor space, clean water and a controlled thermal gradient. Liasis fuscus is distinct from the Macklot's python, even though older records may connect the two.
