[edit] Classification

As it has been stated in this article and elsewhere, the classification of this snake has always been rather contentious. I just noticed the recent changes of the description of this snake from a python to a boid. I will offer two (IMO) solid arguments for a reversion to the former state. 1) This snake is oviparous. 2) Boids are regarded as "New World" snakes and pythons restricted to Africa, Asia and Australia and Australasia. Hopefully the logic of this will help to clarify the issue. Discussion is of course welcome.
