How Many??

[pugsly]

Different Sp. of pythons are there?

Or rather how many different Pythons i.e Morelia Spilota Chenyei and Morelia Spilota McDowelli count as two not one.

Obviously not including morphs, also say scrubs for example they come from different parts like the tanimbar, and halmahera and Moluccan but we will count them as one too.. im confusing myself already!

Ive counted 35..

 

[Craig2]

i can only count 21 pythons

[MrBredli]

If you want to go into sub-species (excl. Carpets) it gets very messy.

[pugsly]

Thats just what I have come up with, Id like to know if there are any more though!

 

[MrBredli]

I reckon the 'official' list would probably be on kingsnake.com somewhere, god knows where though.

 

[NCHERPS]

Hey pugs,

Why aren't you classing the tanimbar, halmahera and Moluccan as full species? David Barker does!

[Rennie]

Here is all the pythons on the list for NSW licences:
Black head
Childreni
Water
Maculosus
Olive
Pygmy
Stimpsoni
bredli
Morelia spilota (Carpet and Diamond complex)
Morelia spilota cheynei
Morelia spilota imbricata
Morelia spilota mcdowelli
Morelia spilota mcdowelli / spilota (intergrade)
Morelia spilota metcalfei
Morelia spilota spilota
Morelia spilota variegata
GTP
Woma

Scrub

then there's also onopelli and rough scaled. A few of those on your list aren't Australian I don't think Pugsly, especially African Rock Python, New Guinea Carpet, Papuan Python, Indian Python and Burmese Python since they're named after other countries. I only got 22.

gonna get confusing using common names, considering "scientific" names are often also in dispute.
Some that you "may" have missed??....
Bismarck Ringed Python (Bothrochilus boa) yes python not boa :wink:
West African Burrowing (Calabaria reinharardtii) perhaps what you refer to as "Calabar"?
Sawu Python (Liasis mackloti & mackloti savuensis)
New World Python (Loxocemus bicolor) "grey area here" :wink:
Timor Python (Python timorensis)
Dwarf African (natalensis)
