>>In terms of "2" which was WW's " Other people have come to the same view previously." Claim (paraphrased by me here)

Paraphrased indeed. Actually, my comment was more along the lines of "other people have already done it, but you haven't read the literature", the literature being McDiarmid et al's (1999) "Snake Species of the World", THE standard reference work for pythons, boas, vipers and basal snakes.

Writing a paper about python taxonomy without having read McDiarmid et al. is rather like writing a treatise about Christianity without having heard of the Bible.

Have a nice day, and like BGF, I'll be checking GenBank for your DNA sequences - LOL!!!
