Thanks Patrick good to have a confirmed ID. I see ALA indicates (via the External Link) "....Studies published in 2020 on the members of the genus Antaresia concluded that Stimson's and Children's pythons are synonymous species with different polymorphism. As a result, Stimson's python is now considered a polymorphic variant of Children's python....". The perils of having an out of date copy of Wilson & Swan!

This is a very special animal and the sighting is significant because there are no records that I know of near this location. The closest being Cocoparra National Park, Lake Cowal and Wagga but nothing in between, so its great to see that these lovely snakes have survived. It looks like it has a placid nature. Thanks for sharing this sighting.
