I agree as well. I do have pics of a hybrid given to me (long, sad story) and took a bunch of photos for reference, but have yet to post them. Sends chills down my spine even having them and I am generally reluctant to even post them being an anal purest.

For those reading, keep in mind that P. curtus and P. breitensteini are closely related, whereas P. brongersmai is more distantly related to the two. However all three descend from the same animal going back long ago. (trying real hard to avoid the technical terminology).

For those who wish to geek out on the subject, I recommend the following paper:

Heavily exploited but poorly known: systematics and biogeography of commercially harvested pythons (Python curtus group) in Southeast Asia by J. SCOTT KEOGH1,2∗ DAVID G. BARKER3 and RICHARD SHINE4
Biological Journal of the Linnean Society (2001), 73: 113–129.
