hi ,
this was sold to me recently as an unknown species since the previous owner didn't care much about species ID. i'm thinking sumatran short tail. haven't checked the head scales yet, need to take a better pic, and her attitude isn't making it easy... whatcha guys think?
thanks

I don't see any evidence of P. curtus in this specimen, as I would expect it to be showing some white or grey coloration on the sides, even if an intergrade. It is only showing browns and yellows which is highly indicative of P. breitensteini.
