I completely agree with you that it's a shame that most breeders here in the states don't keep or have records on the origins of their reptiles that have been imported (either legally or illegally). As both a huge reptile enthusiast and biology teacher, I would love to learn about these overlooked subtle differences between different locales in varying species much like the example you gave with the black tailed cribos ,womas, stimson's python, or ball pythons.
You're more than welcome to give me a shout at anytime. I have tons of "origin" info I could share with you.
Cheers,
