actualy it is believed to be a very isolated carpet python
if you've ever read a book called "keeping carpet pythons"

thats the first ive heard of it....
check SA's lists http://www.parks.sa.gov.au/publish/g...ic_animals.pdf
would have thought that it would be M.S. Bredli if it was a carpet, not just M. Bredli????
could be wrong, just what i always thought and was told

"believe this python to be a sub species of the carpet python and call it morelia spilota bredli"
just an extract from "keeping carpet pythons", by simon kortlang and darren green
some say it is some say they arnt, you decide

each to their own i guess!
i thought it was something to do with the scale count on a bredli being much higher and the scales being smaller than a carpet making them appear less scaley (if thats a word) and more like a skin

I think originaly it was recorded as a new species but in more recent times it has been identified as just a subspecies of morelia spilota, ie proper name is morelia spilota bredli.

Oliver I think it's the other way around and like a number of others was given species status in the last few years. Morelia Bredli ,,,, Randy
