its not a pure african rock python.

it has afrock marking/colour to its sides but burmese markings along the front half of the top and strangely its head looks like a granite burmese.

i would say it a cateater python (burm x afrock) but with something else in the genetics somewhere.
very nice snake though definatly something i would buy

it is too early for an afrock for me Rob i don't think i can handle keeping an afrock right now, due to its aggressive rep.

so i just took few pics

i saw albino burmese that could be a good investment for me, but i have to wait until situation gets better here in syria first.

Thank you chrisc, i think you are right in what u said. i really couldn't define what it is exactly. i thought too it could be (Burmese + Afrock).

it kept sniffing at me all the time when i was handling it and the owner (who is my friend) said it tried to attack at him yesterday
