Hello!
I found this python in SE Queensland(Tiaro). The nearby habitat was mostly Eucalyptus forest, but I found it stuck in a bird aviary and released it back to nature. It was 60-70 cm long, bright orange, almost patternless and with a darker head.
I have been here many times before but never seen a python like this. I would be very happy if someone could tell me what species it is. :) Thank you.

An absolutely stunning juvenile coastal(Morelia Spilota McDowelli)would be my first guess.
Scalation is total Morelia.

What a beauty.

Its normal hatchling coastal carpet python. 90% of the hatchling coastals I find in my area are this colour. After a few months they start to darken in colour and the pattern starts to kick in and th end up looking like normal adults.
 
The eyes are almost like a Brown Tree Snake's eyes!
