![]() | On 17 June 2022, it was proposed that this article be moved to Simalia kinghorni. The result of the discussion was not moved. |
The description section:
S. kinghorni has been known to attain a total length (including tail) up to approximately 7 meters (about 24 feet), with some field measurements claiming to be even longer, making this snake one of Australia's largest and longest snakes, if not, the largest and longest of Australia. This snake is commonly considered arboreal or tree-dwelling, making it one of the world's largest and longest arboreal species of snakes. This snake has an ornate back pattern consisting of browns and tans, with many different natural variations. Its belly is usually white, sometimes with some yellows.
"...making this snake one of Australia's largest and longest snakes, if not, the largest and longest of Australia".
This seems to be a redundant statement. I wonder if it should be:
"...making this snake one of Australia's largest and longest snakes, if not, the largest and longest in the World.

The result of the move request was: No consensus. No consensus on whether the name "Australian scrub python" is ambiguous and is also applied to S. amethistina. Some argue S. amethistina doesn't occur in Australia. Some argue they are not different species. Not a lot of agreement. ( closed by non-admin page mover) Vpab15 ( talk) 17:03, 18 July 2022 (UTC)
Australian scrub python → Simalia kinghorni – Assuming the species status described in this article is valid (which ITIS and The Reptile Database confirm), a different species, Simalia amethistina, is also called the "scrub python", and both of them are found in Australia, so the current title is ambiguous. I also don't know where the "Australian" part of this article title came from, since I have not found that word included in the common names given by ITIS or The Reptile Database. IUCN does not seem to list this species; however, an IUCN search returns three results for "scrub python" – Morelia amethistina (a.k.a. Simalia amethistina), Simalia tracyae and Simalia clastolepis, which seems to confirm that the name is ambiguous. A search on ITIS or The Reptile Database for "scrub python" yields two results – Simalia amethistina and this one. — BarrelProof ( talk) 01:05, 17 June 2022 (UTC) — Relisting. — Ceso femmuin mbolgaig mbung, mello hi!
