What is bredli python?

Bredli pythons, also known as Centralian pythons or Centralian carpets, are a species of python native to central Australia. They are named after Greg Bredl, an Australian reptile enthusiast who first bred them in captivity.

Bredli pythons are a relatively large species of python, with adults typically reaching lengths of 6-9 feet. They have a distinctive pattern of dark reddish-brown blotches on a lighter background, giving them a striking appearance.

In the wild, bredli pythons are found in arid and semi-arid regions of central Australia, where they inhabit a variety of habitats, including grasslands, woodlands, and rocky outcrops. They are primarily nocturnal hunters, feeding on a diet of small mammals, birds, and reptiles.

In captivity, bredli pythons are popular among reptile enthusiasts due to their docile nature and relatively easy care requirements. They require a secure enclosure with adequate hiding spots, a warm basking area, and a temperature gradient to allow them to thermoregulate.

Overall, bredli pythons are a fascinating and beautiful species of python that can make a great addition to a reptile collection for experienced keepers.
