Thank you Scott, 'Amethystine' sounds so much nicer than 'Scrub' but good information for future reference. Appreciate the comment. Robert

Beautiful! Just for information, pythons are undergoing an active reclassification. AROD or the Australian Reptile Online Database is now calling your species the scrub python or Morelia kinghorni. http://www.arod.com.au/arod/reptilia/Squamata/Pythonidae/Morelia/kinghorni
