New Photo for Taxonbox?

Is there a different photo we can use for the taxonbox? That snake is just grotesquely obese, far beyond the result of even ingesting big meal; many of the body scales don't even meet anymore. The Brevard Zoo photos are just as bad. Any wild photos which would be good? Or just captives that aren't going to die of liver failure in the next few years?

Natalensis is now a species on its own

Please update.

Python natalensis is now a subspecies on its own. And seperated from sebae.

The previous classification was changed in 1999. So this wikipedia page needs an update.

(Previously) Northern African Rock Python P.sebae sebae Southern African Rock Python P.sebae natalensis

(After 1999) as classified by cites African Rock Python Python sebae

Southern African Python aka Natal Python Python natalensis

Natalensis is lifted to its own species.

IUCN now shows "Central African python" (P. sebae) and "Southern African Rock Python" (P. natalensis) as two separate species. So does ITIS. ITIS has marked the subspecies names as invalid and the two species-level names as valid. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 00:37, 5 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Is this an apex predator?

– or Python sebae and Python natalensis. ITIS and IUCN show these as separate species with the suggested article names as the primary common names. ITIS has marked the subspecies-level names as invalid and the two species-level names as valid. The Southern rock python article already includes "African" in the boldfaced common name in its opening sentence. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 00:50, 5 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Support. I don't see Central African rock python at ITIS, only at the IUCN. Reptile database uses Southern African rock python but not Central African rock python. However, before the species split, the two subspecies were commonly known as the Southern and Central African rock python (e.g. here, here and others), so the IUCN is just using the common names of the subspecies for the same snakes at species level in accord with the revised taxonomy. I see know reason not to follow the IUCN. —  Jts1882 | talk  06:01, 7 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
