Hi, I’m Scaly Joe

Hi, my name is Scaly Joe and I'm a Coastal Carpet Python. You would usually find my species down the eastern coast of Australia and maybe even in your backyard.

I am still getting used to handling so prefer to come out of my enclosure with a hook. I have improved with my handling since arriving at RSPCA but will need continued practice to improve. I am definitely a nosey parker and love to see what's going on outside my enclosure. I love my rodents and am a fantastic feeder!

I require a UV light and heat lamp, basking area and water bowl. I need an enclosure where I can comfortably grow to stretch out and move around.

If you think I might be the perfect fit for your family, please fill out an adoption application today! https://www.rspcaqld.org.au/expression-of-interest-to-adopt

Adoption Price: $150
