<p>The <b>amethystine python</b> (<i><b><a href="Simalia" title="Simalia">Simalia</a> amethistina</b></i>, formerly known as <i><b>Morelia amethistina</b></i>), also known as the <b>scrub python</b> or <i><b>sanca permata</b></i> in <a href="Indonesian_language" title="Indonesian language">Indonesian</a>, is a <a href="Species" title="Species">species</a> of non-<a href="Venomous_snake" title="Venomous snake">venomous snake</a> in the <a href="Family_(biology)" title="Family (biology)">family</a> <a href="Pythonidae" title="Pythonidae">Pythonidae</a>. The species is found in <a href="Indonesia" title="Indonesia">Indonesia</a> and <a href="Papua_New_Guinea" title="Papua New Guinea">Papua New Guinea</a>. Popular among reptile enthusiasts, and noted for its coloration and size, it is one of the <a href="List_of_largest_snakes" title="List of largest snakes">largest snakes in the world</a>, as measured either by length or weight, and is the largest native snake in Papua New Guinea. Until 2000, the larger Australian species <i><a href="Simalia_kinghorni" class="mw-redirect" title="Simalia kinghorni">S. kinghorni</a></i> was generally considered a subspecies of <i>S. amethistina</i>, and this change of classification has still not been universally reflected in literature. Because of this issue, <i>S. amethistina</i> has often been described as the largest snake in Australia, but this is not accurate since under the current classification, this species does not occur in Australia.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<p>Formerly, five <a href="Subspecies" title="Subspecies">subspecies</a> of <i>Morelia amethistina</i>, including the nominate race, <i>M. a. amethystina</i>, were generally recognized.

The <a href="Tanimbar_Islands" title="Tanimbar Islands">Tanimbar Islands</a> are home to a smaller subspecies, the former <i>M. a. nauta</i>. On the island of <a href="Seram" class="mw-redirect" title="Seram">Seram</a>, the former <i>M. a. clastolepis</i> can be found. On mainland of <a href="Papua_New_Guinea" title="Papua New Guinea">Papua New Guinea</a> (including the Indonesian western half, once called Irian Jaya—now <a href="West_Papua_(province)" title="West Papua (province)">West Papua</a>), and many of its nearby offshore islands, the former <i>M. a. amethystina</i> is quite common. In Australia, the former <i>M. a. kinghorni</i> is represented.<sup id="cite_ref-ITIS_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ITIS-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> American biologist Michael Harvey and colleagues investigated the amethystine python complex and recognised five separate species – <i>Simalia amethistina</i>, <i><a href="Simalia_clastolepis" title="Simalia clastolepis">Simalia clastolepis</a></i>, <i><a href="Simalia_kinghorni" class="mw-redirect" title="Simalia kinghorni">Simalia kinghorni</a></i>, <i><a href="Simalia_nauta" title="Simalia nauta">Simalia nauta</a></i>, and <i><a href="Simalia_tracyae" title="Simalia tracyae">Simalia tracyae</a></i> – based on cladistic analysis of cytochrome b sequences and morphology.<sup id="cite_ref-Harvey2000_6-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Harvey2000-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In 2014 cladistic analysis of nuclear and mitochondrial genes of pythons and boas, R.

<p>Specimens of <i>S. amethistina</i> have reportedly been measured at more than 5.5 m (18.0 ft) in total length (including tail), but this is exceptional, as 4 m (13 ft) specimens are already considered extremely large. Although the amethystine python is smaller than the <a href="Australian_scrub_python" title="Australian scrub python">Australian scrub python</a>, some sources claim that <i>S. amethistina</i> is able to reach lengths of 6 m (20 ft), with a weight up to 27 kg (60 lb)<sup id="cite_ref-Daniel_Natusch_8-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Daniel_Natusch-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and perhaps even 30 kg (66 lb).<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
