I know everyone is going to have their own opinion but it will be interesting to see what answers we get.
ill say jungle cause they fall in the jungle documented natural range,
saying that thou there could be some coastal that way mind you there likely to be intergraides or even yes ill say it,... ... hybrids! just to annoy those who insist on drawing a magical line in the sad that says all animals on one side have to be one type and there prothe all the animals on the other side have to be the other type!,
well hears a news flash, see that line you just drew? well the animals dont care and will corss it all day long as they like!
You saying they don't have feelings? I swear whenever I say mean things to my pythons, especially the honey-ice-jungle-cape-yorks, they go all sooky. It's at these times they most like to be petted and stroked, spoken to in gentle, kind tones and soothed of their hurts.They are what they are and don't care what you call them.
What about Morelia amethistina, Morelia viridis and Morelia carinata?Leading Ausralian herpetologists (professionals -not amateurs) recognise three species of Morelia:
M. spilota, M. imbicata and M. bredli .... and that's it! The rest are aberrant morphs of the 3 species.
This is where "reptile pet keeping" and herpetology differs.
Leading Ausralian herpetologists (professionals -not amateurs) recognise three species of Morelia:
M. spilota, M. imbicata and M. bredli .... and that's it! The rest are aberrant morphs of the 3 species. This classification is mainly based on Rollings & Donnellan's extensive genetic work.
Sub-species are the result of bad science and vivid imagination, however, "reptile pet owners" and "reptile marketing managers" like it. More names, more sales.
No offence, all you splitters, keep on splitting, no one listening.
