What is Morelia amethistina?
'''''Morelia amethistina''''' (also known as the '''amethystine python''', '''scrub python''' or '''sanca permata''') is a form of non-venomous [[python]]. It can be found in [[Indonesia]], [[Papua New Guinea]], and [[Australia]]. Some specimens of Morelia amethistina have been measured at up to 8.5 metres (27.9 feet) long, but normally they are only up to 5 metres long. The [[diet]] of the Amethystine python is mostly [[bird]]s, [[bat]]s, [[rat]]s, [[possum]]s, and other small [[mammal]]s. Some big Australian and Papuan varieties eat [[wallaby|wallabies]] and [[cuscus]]. [[Category:Pythons]] [[Category:Snakes of Australia]]
