Brongersmai or Breitensteini? Help pls

macsid Aug 31, 2011 05:03 AM

Hello. Pls. help me to correctly identify my new baby girl. She was sold to me as a "Malaysian Blood Python" (brongersmai) but I'm starting to think that she might be a Borneo short-tailed (breitensteini) instead. I've asked around and some say she is a blood and others think otherwise. What do you guys think? Thanks in advance.

That would be a Brongersmai

I do not see any indication of P. breitensteini with this specimen, but it is showing some unusual traits. The reddish colored eyes and single supraocular over each eye is not commonly seen in P. brongersmai. However, I don't see any other characteristics that would lead me to believe it was not. In my opinion this is definitely not a Malaysian specimen as it has the look of a Sumatran brongersmai.
