Yes but the people giving them more respected labels are not breeders like Snake Ranch. SR have no need to be putting sought after labels on animals that arent what they say they are.
Snake ranch is a large breeder of snakes no doubt and a highly reputable one, but I'm sure you will agree that there collection is not comprised of all wild snakes caught under permission.
These stock animals have come from many different sources from individuals and breeders all around australia (some captive, some wild caught and some with locales attatched. some true, some false). Unfortunately you cannot guarantee that these snakes are from specific locations nor can they be identified as specific sub species in the range of coastals, diamonds and integrades.
If the python was wild caught from gosford then its fair to say its more than likely a diamond, but unfortunately there is no real evidence to say that it is. Can anyone say with any certainty that my rhd womas, my normanton bhps, my elcho island childrens and my iron range gtps are from those specific locations. (not to mention the 100's of other labels that have been attached).
