Should be dark spots on a light body? Is it just a printing error, or is this some other kind of snake?
P.S. I was just out there a few weeks ago too, but the bookstore was closed.
It is the wrong species of snake. The photo is of a Ball Python, not a Burmese Python. The difference is only ~20ft and a couple hundred pounds.
Maybe AIC has developed its own species concept: the chromatic species concept (CSC). CSC is similar to the morphological species concept, but it's solely based on color--ha! Therefore, all black and brown snakes are the same species!
