Yeah, Donellan was one of the researchers, there was three or four of them.

All he said about the Chondros - he was pretty sure they would be put back in Vhondropython again. He didn't say why, but I got the impression that the DNA was quite divergent from the other Morelias.

MrBredli: they were looking at the DNA only (which codes for physical characteristics, amongst everything else). They couldn't find enough variance to separate the different subspecies. DNA sequences were common to all forms of carpet, and to use his words "we could not use the DNA to predict skin patterns".
