The color of the heads of most freckled pythons is brown and is very similar to the color of the pale freckles seen on the bodies. The color of the bodies varies among individuals from olive-browns to rich dark browns. Semau specimens tend to have the palest overall appearance, while Roti specimens are the darkest. There are no records of albinism or other forms of hypomelanism for this taxon. While freckled pythons do exhibit considerable variations in color from individual to individual, we know of no reports of dramatically unusual or anomalous conditions of color in this species.
Freckled pythons are beautiful snakes that do extremely well in captivity.
