Antaresia perthensis is a species of snake found in Western Australia. Their common names, pygmy python and anthill python, refer to the fact that they are the smallest member of the family Pythonidae and are often found in termite mounds. The specific epithet is derived from the state capital, Perth, despite the fact that this place is not within the range of the species.
