The Children's python (Antaresia childreni), is a species of non-venomous snake from the family Pythonidae named after John George Children. It is a nocturnal species occurring in the northern half of Australia and generally found on the ground although it often climbs trees. Usually growing to about 1.0 metre in length, it is typically a reddish-brown colour, darker on the upper surface, and with many darker blotches, especially on younger specimens. It feeds mostly on small mammals and bird and, as with other pythons, it constricts its prey before swallowing it whole. It is a popular pet amongst reptile enthusiasts. Order: Squamata, Suborder: Serpentes, Family: Pythonidae, Genus: Antaresia, Species: Antaresia childreni (Gray, 1842).
