It's Python. Hoser has provided no new evidence to support his arrangement, and there are absolutely no reasons whatsoever to follow it. If future research shows that a new genus is warranted, then the name Broghammerus will be available, but at present, there are no grounds for changing the status quo.

Cheers,

What is "Crocodilian - Journal of the Victorian Association of Amateur Herpetologists"?
All of your former work has been published in non "peer-reviewed" journals/magazines/etc. Publishing work in hobbyist literature does not make for good science.

For those who are reading this, please check out this article which is a rebuttal directly to Raymond Hoser. It is by 4 authors, one of which who is Richard Shine, one the most influential and highly regarded herptetologists of our time.

Sorry Ray, it's only fair to show the opposite side of the story too.
