These pythons are popular as pets due to their mild temperament, although a license and fees are usually required in Australia. As with other carpet python species, both naturally occurring and designer morphs are common in captive specimens, such as albino or reduced pattern varieties.

Famous quotes containing the word captivity:
“Had it pleased heaven
To try me with affliction, had they rained
All kind of sores and shames on my bare head,
Steeped me in poverty to the very lips,
Given to captivity me and my utmost hopes,
I should have found in some place of my soul
A drop of patience.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
