Indian Pythons "light phase" from the mainland of India and Pakistan are at present somewhat rare in collections due to the Endangered Species status and lack of interest by Zoos and Private Breeders in reproducing "pure" bloodlines.

Bill,
Here are the photos I said I would post of one of my Sri Lanka molurus for comparison. As can be seen, they typically lack much more of the arrow shape on the head than the Indian molurus. Additionally, they lack this at the time they hatch, unlike the Indian form, which tends to show most of the arrow shape at hatching. The Sri Lanka molurus also tend to show a large amount of pink on the head.
