This is exactly why scale counts will not offer an exact ID regarding intergradient specimens, as any possible combination of phenotypic traits, regarding the spp. crossed, can be present. This has created a few problems with some D. melanurus ssp., as well as some P. sayi ssp. where their respective ranges overlap in the wild. Such would not be the case regarding the specimen you have pictured, as it is an intergradient of captive origins.
It's still a great looking snake and should make for a great pet, yet I would avoid breeding it for any reason..
