– or ''{{-r|Python sebae}}'' and ''{{-r|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 {{-r|Southern rock python}} article already includes "African" in the boldfaced common name in its opening sentence. —⁠ ⁠—⁠ ⁠[[User:BarrelProof|BarrelProof]] ([[User talk:BarrelProof|talk]]) 00:50, 5 June 2022 (UTC)

: '''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. [https://africawildtrails.com/danger-zone-the-african-rock-python/ here], [https://www.petmd.com/reptile/species/african-rock-python here] and [https://www.google.com/search?q=%22Central+African+rock+python%22&client=firefox-b-d&channel=trow5&sxsrf=ALiCzsYoR-2AxCoATe-71kRH1aVwrleGtA%3A1654580983574&ei=9-aeYurJIsehgQbJy7moDw&ved=0ahUKEwiqoZy-0pr4AhXHUMAKHcllDvUQ4dUDCA0&uact=5&oq=%22Central+African+rock+python%22&gs_lcp=Cgdnd3Mtd2l6EAMyBggAEB4QFjoHCAAQRxCwAzoKCAAQRxCwAxDJAzoECCMQJzoFCC4QgARKBAhBGABKBAhGGABQkwdYvRZgphxoAXABeACAAW6IAacCkgEDMS4ymAEAoAEByAEIwAEB&sclient=gws-wiz 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. —&nbsp;<span style="font-family:Arial;background:#d6ffe6;border:solid 1px;border-radius:5px;box-shadow:darkcyan 0px 1px 1px;">&nbsp;[[User:Jts1882|Jts1882]]&nbsp;&#124;[[User talk:Jts1882|&nbsp;talk]]&nbsp;</span> 06:01, 7 June 2022 (UTC)
