Subspecies status? I know back in the day there was a few (Example- Boa Contrictor Mexicana) My wife and I where discussing how so many other species (Example- Carpet Pythons from Australia) have thier own subspecies status, I personally feel that there are enough differences in the different locals to warrant subspecies status, but I was curious why they are all just lumped together? Species like the Pearl Island (Boa Contrictor Sabogea)Have thier own subspecies name....Just curious what others thought of the topic.

Below are just some examples of BCI, I could totally see each one of them being thier own subspecies...They are all so different, I wonder what it takes to become a Subspecies?
