`But in what publication or book can this be broken down to a rational and DETAILED explanation? The more I read, it seems the more holes I find. Looking foward to hearing some ideas/answers.'
Simple... you need to go find the papers in which the changes you're interested in were made. These would be in scientific journals or other academic manuscripts, many of which you could probably find at a good university's library. You're not going to find them at your local public library simply because they're not the most exciting things in the world, and most people don't give a damn about them. Finding things like the original descriptions of the genera Liasis and Morelia (which should contain explanations of the genus names, for instance), though, could be a bit more difficult, since both were described back in the 1840's (a bit of information, BTW, which you can get from www.reptile-database.org, which is a pretty useful reference), and most universities' libraries don't go that far back.
