I've seen the info about Python kyaiktiyo before! Sweet looking snake, and it is considered to be in the Python curtus group, or rather, it is considered to be a short tailed python. It was classified as a different species due to it's different scalation and geographic location, where it is located in Burma/Myanmar, farther inland from the rest of the STP's range. I hope they find more of these snakes, and although it may be illegal, if they wound up in captivity, their species could be preserved in captive populations as opposed to its dying habitat. That's provided some 'tard doesn't make a muddy hybrid with the other STPs, of course.
