The spotted python, eastern small-blotched python, or eastern Children's python (Antaresia maculosa) is a python species found in northern Australia and New Guinea.[2] It is a popular pet among Australian reptile enthusiasts and other reptile enthusiasts abroad due to its small size and even temperament. No subspecies were originally recognized.[2][3] However, two subspecies were recognized as of 2020; A. m. maculosa and A. m. peninsularis.
The spotted pythons of New Guinea were proposed to be reclassified in 2021 as their own unique species, A. papuensis or the Papuan spotted python, in the same study that discovered the two mainland subspecies.[4] However, both ITIS and The Reptile Database currently consider the two variants as synonyms.
