Reviewers' comments about this photo (review or add another comment)

Reviewed by Wulf Schleip Dec 15, 2008

Action: changed name from "Leiopython albertisii" to "Leiopython hoserae "

Reviewer's comments:

"Formerly regarded as "black" or "southern" race of Leiopython albertisii. Introduced as separate species by Hoser (2000), but because of bad taxonomy, was redescribed by Schleip (2008)."
