this might be controversial but it’s been something i have been thinking about for some time - having kept both P. sebae and P. bivittatus for a good time now i have been increasingly fascinated with the similarities between the 2 species when they’re from completely different places on the map - i have also seen an alternative common name for Burmese pythons such as “Asian rock python”
with the above being said, i would also say that, without getting to deep into it - Burma does not exist, Myanmar is what exists, and this nation changed its name from the former to the latter to erase vestiges of British colonialism following it’s independence - in addition to this in my research, most of the founder Burms, in the US anyway, seem to originate from places like Thailand and other places, not Myanmar
so with all of that - wouldn’t a switch to such a name as “Asian rock python” be preferable?
