Morelia bredli
Key traits and size details for Bredl's Python.
Length
Weight
Lifespan
The Bredl's Python (Morelia bredli) has a warm desert-fire look, with oranges, reds, creams, and dark edging giving many animals a rich, sunbaked glow. It is a carpet-python relative, but it often feels heavier, steadier, and more deliberate than the quicker coastal-style carpets. Captive-bred Bredl's pythons can make impressive display snakes for intermediate keepers. They are still strong, active pythons that need room and confident handling, but their temperament is often one of their selling points. For someone who wants a large, handsome python without stepping into true giant territory, Bredl's has a devoted following.

28-40 C
Temperature range
No sourced humidity range yet.
Bredl's pythons are kept on the warmer, drier side, with a hot basking surface and a cool end that is still quite warm. The source gives humidity as generally below 50% rather than a full range, so the minimum humidity field is left blank while the upper bound records that dry-leaning target.
Reference size-over-age data for Bredl's Python.
Species reference size over age, built from curated catalog points rather than an individual reptile record.
Add at least two length or weight points to plot a species reference curve.
Housing, feeding, and handling guidance collected in one place.
Give Bredl's Python secure hides on both sides of the gradient and enough uncluttered floor space to move without feeling exposed.
Use the sourced 28-40 C thermal range as the enclosure target. Track humidity with a digital hygrometer and adjust only from sourced guidance. If UVB is used, match the stored Ferguson Zone 2 / UVI 0.7-1.0 target at the basking position.
Prey size should be 1.0-1.25x widest body part.
Feed Bredl's Python appropriately sized thawed prey in a quiet routine, then leave it undisturbed while it digests.
Let Bredl's Python settle after arrival and after meals, then build handling gradually with full body support and short sessions.
