# Carpet python — care routine

Morelia spilota

## Before arrival

- [ ] Budget for substantial adult housing and load-bearing climbing furnishings.
- [ ] The retrieved guide proposes roughly 244 × 122 × 122 cm for many adults up to 2.4 m. Scale to full straightening and usable climbing, with strong fixed branches and concealed resting places.
- [ ] Run and record the completed habitat through daytime and overnight conditions before arrival.

## Routine checks

- [ ] Check branch security, water and the warm/cool/night records.

## Regular care and records

- [ ] Review prey size and body condition, and inspect every load-bearing fixing.

## When to seek help

- [ ] Track growth, sheds and breathing; rapid growth from excessive feeding is not the goal.
- [ ] Arrange appropriate professional assessment for injury, sudden decline or repeated care problems.
