Carpet Snake for Dummies

Alright, so "Carpet Snake" is actually kind of a funny name because it doesn't have anything to do with carpets or snakes in your house. Nope, a Carpet Snake is actually a type of snake that's found in Australia. It's also called a "carpet python" because of the cool pattern on its skin that looks like a colorful carpet. These snakes are not dangerous to humans and they're actually really good at helping to keep the population of rats and other small animals in check. So, it's like they're the helpful pest control team of the Australian wilderness!

In some places, people might also call a Carpet Snake a "Morelia spilota," which is its fancy scientific name. But basically, whether you call it a Carpet Snake or a carpet python, you're talking about the same thing - a cool snake that looks like it's wearing a carpet on its skin. So, if you ever happen to visit Australia and someone mentions a carpet snake, you'll know they're talking about a really neat type of python with a funky pattern on its skin!
