Albino Northern Territory Carpet Python [Morelia spilota variegata]

Albino Northern Territory Carpet Python (Morelia spilota variegata) or Darwin Carpet Python are native to Australia and New Guinea. The unusual appearance of this albino snake is caused by genetic faults in the metabolic system that produces melanin. This individual is an oculocutaneous albino, which means that it contains no melanin in the eyes or skin.

    I shot three Albino’s in this shoot – this one is the male and he was larger than the other two females. He’s much lighter and has distinct bands while one of the females has a white stripe the length of her body and the other is banded. – Stunning animals!
