Thanks Rich and Kelly! Yes the paper you referenced is a really good article and unfortunately one of the few on these pythons.

Kelly I do now understand the dorsal coloring after rereading your description and comparing it to my lovable Curtus "squishy" BTW many thanks. I would like to see some more photos of the said snake in question. I think us blood nuts love to dissect questionable bloods lol. As far as natural integration with the "southern Curtus" I will call it and the Brong has there been a large importation of this or is this a few and far between thing? Again many thanks Kelly and Rich for your info on this
