==Description==

Adults grow to about {{convert|50|cm|in|round=0.5|abbr=on}} in length and have a weight near 210 grams. Neonates are about {{convert|8|in|cm}} in length and about 4 grams in weight. After a year they average about 25 grams in weight. This makes them smaller than both the Children's python, ''[[Antaresia childreni|A. childreni]]'', and the [[spotted python]], ''[[Antaresia maculosa|A. maculosa]]''. ''A. perthensis'' usually has a redder background ground color than these other species and their spots fade, or become less distinct, as they mature. In contrast, the ground color is lighter in ''childreni'' and ''maculosa'', while their spots stay better defined throughout their life.
