Abstract
The thermal preference, voluntary maxima, and thermal control were studied in the Papuan-New Guinean pythons Python spilotus, P. boeleni, Liasis albertisii, L. papuanus, L. boa, and Chondropython viridis. Preferred temperature data were similar for all species and mean preferred head temperatures were lower than those for the body. In general preferred and voluntary means were higher for the Papuan-New Guinean pythons than those found for Australian species and likely reflect adaptation to hotter tropical environments.
