It appears the Liasis albertisii has been bumped over to Morelia albertisii (Underwood & Stimson, 1990). Given that scientists like to change their minds all the time tho, don't know if it's official or what. Being patternless, I would have thought liasis more suitable but hey, I'm a builder not a zoologist!

http://pythonidae.net/Leiopython_albertisii.html

I'm sure I read somewhere that someone in Oz has bred or tried to breed this python. Anyone know if this is the case? Would love to see this snake make it's way into the hobby at large.
 
Everywhere I have read lists the albertisii as Liasis.

I wonder what made them change the bredli's name from Morelia Bredli to Morelia s. Bredli. In some of the highly recommended books such as Cogger's, Pythons of Australia the bredli was called Centralian Python and not classed as a carpet. I always thought they were a carpet but was talking about this with someone just the other day.
 
Bredli has a bigger scale count then carpets don't they?
 
Aren't shingleback lizards Tiliquas ?
Tiliqua rugosa

debatable.

even further, there is apparently sub species... although i dont think NPWS cares..

bluetongueskinks.net said:
There are four Shingleback subspecies

The Common Shingleback(T. rugosa rugosa • Gray, 1845)
• This species has a somewhat slender body, as well as a relatively long, thin tail. It is also the most colorful of the subspecies. Specimens seen with the bright orange/red coloration are the T. rugosa rugosa.

The Eastern Shingleback (T. rugosa aspera • Gray, 1845)
• The largest in length, as well as body mass. The asperas have enormous armored scales that almost resemble a large pinecone (hence the nickname pinecone lizard). This species also has the broadest head, as well as a very wide, fat tail. Most species are solid black.

The Sharkbay Shingleback (T. rugosa palarra • Shea, 2000)
• Long thin tails that in some cases, seem to end in a point. The validity of this scientific species is of some dispute. This animal's body structure (and other attributes) are nearly identical to the Common Shingleback.

The (Rottnest) Island Shingleback (T. rugosa konowi • Mertens, 1958 )
• The rarest in captivity, and originating from a tiny island (called Rottnest) off the western coast of Australia, the Konowi is the smallest of all the subspecies, comprises of smaller scales, and is also known to have a blue-green tinge. See an amazing juxtaposed shot comparing the size difference of the Aspera and the Konowi.

http://bluetongueskinks.net/bshingle.htm

considering their colour changes from each area, scale size and body type variations.. surely it should be generally accepted. they do with carpets.
 
Just quickly

Varanus glebopalma Black palmed rock monitor
Varanus glauerti
2 species known to be legally held.
Also Nephrurus wheeleri Banded knob tailed gecko young were advertised for sale this year in NSW.
 
Hey Cris (nice Spencers on your avatar BTW),

You forgot Varanus Glauerti and V. Timorensis is only available off shore; our Spotted Tree Monitors are V. Scalaris!

Cheers,

I.V.
