Some specimens may have black rings that are irregular, incompletely formed or even absent. Most specimens in captivity come from either New Ireland or New Britain. Ringed pythons are typically snappy as youngsters, but then settle down to become trustworthy captives as they mature. Wild-caught animals are not available. The species appears to be well-established in captivity with several hundred ringed pythons hatching out around the country each year.
Captive specimens seem to benefit if provided with a box of damp moss in which to occasionally sit.
