You should include (Dwarf/Super Dwarf) behind it because the Reticulated Pythons from Islands get way smaller than their Mainland Counterpart

Those Dwarf Populations and Subspecies live on tiny islands or islets that aren't even visible on the world map. The ones in the Philippines, Borneo and other Major Islands of Indonesia "Mainland" are among the largest. In fact the largest scientifically recorded Reticulated Python was from Borneo if I am not mistaken. There are some other record holders from Sulawesi and the Philippines. In fact all of the largest specimens I can recall are from the major islands.
