Juveniles are patterned with dark brown or black markings on a lighter background, which fades and becomes more uniform as they mature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the wild, they occupy rainforests, woodlands, and mangrove areas, often climbing trees or resting in dense vegetation. Despite their considerable size, they are relatively agile and strong climbers. In captivity, they require very large enclosures with secure climbing structures, multiple hides, and high humidity to replicate natural conditions. Long-term planning for space and feeding is essential due to their rapid growth and eventual size.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Viperia UK","offers":[{"title":"Unsexed","offer_id":54783665930577,"sku":"sorong-scrub-python - 001","price":200.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1077\/6952\/8657\/files\/Sorong-Scrub-Python_1.jpg?v=1788427867","url":"https:\/\/viperiareptiles.co.uk\/products\/sorong-scrub-python","provider":"Viperia Reptiles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
