Talk:Amethystine python

Article Improvement
I have removed the rubbish that was here before, I researched the topic well and have not come across any 'rainbow python' that is supposed to be a commonly called name, or that it is said to cause 'rainfall', which to me sounds like a vandal putting false information! If you want to verify my article and enhance the article here were my sources; [], also my other source was a book entitled,'green guide,Snakes and Other Reptiles of Australia' written and comprised by Gerry Swan (The book is the 'Whitley Award Winner' for the best zoological series.

Would people looking up an encyclopeadia find it of that great worth/importance to read in the main introduction of the article that this is the first snake Steve Irwin owned? Perhaps it could be removed or moved to its own section - famous people who own(ed) the scrub python maybe? Lenneth (talk) 04:29, 28 March 2010 (UTC)


 * I doubt it should be in the lead, perhaps it could get a mention somewhere. If it's noted in a reliable source, then it could be added to the Irwin article (I didn't check if it was). If inclusion of that fact in this article is questioned, the criteria could be "is it mentioned in sources whose primary subject is the animal, rather than the person." cygnis insignis 06:09, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Moved it here: "The Scrub python was also the The Croc Hunters (Steve Irwin) first snake. " cygnis insignis 06:13, 28 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks cygnis insignis I think the introduction reads much better now. ^_^ Lenneth (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 10:12, 29 March 2010 (UTC).

Dear Wikipaedians
I propose adding a gallery to this article.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Amethystine_Python.jpg I suggest this image be added to the article. The image is from commons & might need attribution??Nnoddy (talk) 02:50, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

I understand the Australian snake has been split as Morelia kinghorni in 2000. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 110.175.121.168 (talk) 09:34, 2 June 2013 (UTC)
