Amethystine Python (Simalia amethistina)

The Amethystine Python is found in Indonesia and Papua New Guinea, growing up to 18 feet long. They typically prefer rainforest habitats but also frequent open woodlands, particularly during seasonal migration. 

Larger Amethystine Pythons exhibit less hunting activity overall and prefer daytime. Compared to the drier months, these nocturnal reptiles have hunting spikes during the wet season.
