Hi, I’m Betelguese

Hi, my name is Betelguese and I'm a Jungle Carpet Python. You would usually find my species in the tropical rainforests of Queensland.

I really enjoy chilling out under my heat lamp on top of my hide and soaking in all of the UV rays! I am still a bit evasive and not always keen on handling, but I have come a very long way since first coming to the RSPCA. I enjoy my rodents and occasional quail!

I require a UV light and heat lamp, basking area and water bowl. I need an enclosure where I can comfortably stretch out.

If you think I might be the perfect fit for your family, please fill out an adoption application today! https://www.rspcaqld.org.au/expression-of-interest-to-adopt

Adoption Price: $150
