Stimson’s Python T+ Albino – Antaresia stimsoni

The T+ Albino Stimson’s Python is a spectacular colour morph of the Australian Stimson’s Python, Antaresia stimsoni. Stimson’s Pythons are a relatively small Australian python, typically reaching around 75–100cm, making them a popular species among both newer and experienced reptile keepers. 

The T+ Albino morph transforms the naturally contrasting appearance of the Stimson’s Python, producing particularly impressive orange, yellow, gold and warm-toned colouration. Australian breeders describe T+ Stimson’s as retaining pigment rather than displaying the complete pigment loss associated with some other forms of albinism.

The T+ Albino Morph

T+ Albino Stimson’s Pythons are particularly sought after for their intense warm colouration.

Depending on the genetic line and individual animal, T+ Stimson’s can display considerable differences in appearance. Australian breeders describe Ray Line T+ Stimson’s as typically showing yellow base colour with bright orange blotches, while other established T+ lines can differ in base colour, blotching and eye colour.

Individual colour and pattern will therefore vary, making each snake unique.

About Stimson’s Pythons

Stimson’s Pythons are naturally found across a large area of inland and western Australia. Wild individuals are highly variable in appearance, generally displaying darker reddish-brown blotches over a lighter background. 

Their relatively compact adult size is one of the reasons the species has become established in Australian reptile keeping. The Australian Herpetological Society lists an approximate adult size of 75–100cm and describes Stimson’s Pythons as suitable for beginner keepers when their husbandry requirements are properly met.

Housing

Stimson’s Pythons require a secure, escape-resistant enclosure with appropriate heating, ventilation, hides and access to clean drinking water.

Suitable enclosure furnishings can include:

• Secure hides
• Climbing branches
• Natural timber
• Rocks and other secure décor
• Appropriate substrate
• Fresh drinking water
• A controlled thermal gradient

Although primarily terrestrial, Stimson’s Pythons can make use of appropriately positioned climbing structures and enclosure enrichment. 

Feeding

Stimson’s Pythons are carnivorous and captive animals are commonly maintained on appropriately sized rodents.

Prey size and feeding frequency should be adjusted according to the snake's age, size and body condition rather than using the same feeding schedule throughout its life.

Important Information

Australian reptile licensing and keeping requirements vary between states and territories. Buyers should ensure they hold any licence or authority required in their jurisdiction before purchasing or keeping a Stimson’s Python.

The photographs should be used to assess the appearance of the individual animal where applicable, as colour, pattern and markings naturally vary between individual T+ Albino Stimson’s Pythons.
