Papuan Olive Python
Apodora papuana
Family : PYTHONIDAE

Maximum Size : 4.3 metres
Species : Apodora papuana
Maximum Size : 4.3 metres
One of the largest of Papua
New Guinea's snakes, the Papuan Olive Python is a species of rainforest and
savanna.
Its body is thick and stocky, and reaches over 4 metres in length. The head is short and blunt, and slightly wider than the body.
Dorsal scale colour is of various tones of brown or grey-brown, and is lighter on the lower flanks and darker on the higher flanks and upper surface. The underside is lighter in colour, as are the lips, chin and throat. The eyes are medium in size, with vertical pupils. Some specimens may possess a dark stripe behind the eye.
Its diet comprises mainly mammals : typically pythons will identify by scent the regular pathway of a forest floor mammal, and then wait in ambush for an opportune moment to strike its passing prey.
The Papuan Olive Python is widely distributed in mainland Papua New Guinea and a few offshore islands. It also ranges westwards to the Indonesian province of Papua (formerly Irian Jaya).

papuana - Graham Reynolds et al. 2014
Type Locality: Ramoi (near Sorong), Irian Jaya, Indonesia (Island of New Guinea). Holotype: MSNG29988.
Taxonomic note: Rawlings et al. (2008) found Apadora and Liasis olivacea sisters and L. fuscus and L. mackloti sisters [(Apadora + L. olivacea + (L. fuscus + L. mackloti)]. This suggests that Apadora may need to be moved into Liasis or L. olivacea needs to be moved into Apadora. If the relationships are verified.
Distribution and Habitat: The Papuan Olive Python uses lowland monsoon forests, wooded savanna, and savanna across most of New Guinea, Fergusson Island, and Biak Island (McDowell, 1975; O’Shea, 1996).
Diet: McDowell (1975) reported a specimen containing a wallaby (Dorcopsis), and another specimen that contained black feathers and the foot of a bird. O’Shea (1996) reported an individual that had eaten an Amethystine Python.
Size: McDowell (1975) noted that AMNH 73993 was collected at Buniguni Village may be the largest snake collected in New Guinea, it measured 14 ft 5 inches (4.39 m) before it was skinned. O’Shea (1996) found most specimens to be between 1.4 and 3.6 m.
