I would soo want to have a Antaresia stimsoni... but they're quite rare outside of Australia... you can find them but you will pay about 700 € for a juvenile pair... they're extremely high on my want-list.

>Classification.

>In the wild state Children's, Stimson's and Spotted Pythons act both as separate species and as the same species. In the north of Western Australia, it appears that Stimson's and Children's Pythons don't hybridise, even though they are found within a few kilometres from each other (but don't appear to coexist in any single locality). On that basis it would tentatively seem that they are different species.

>However in parts of inland Queensland Smith identified snakes that he was unable to assign to a given 'species' on the basis of their intermediate characteristics and their location of origin being on the convergence of the ranges of all three forms. Likewise specimens from parts of New South Wales appear to be intermediate between Stimson's and Spotted Pythons. Alice Springs herpetologist Greg Fyfe has also observed wild caught snakes from Queensland intermediate in character between Stimson's and Spotted Pythons. (At this stage, no location in the wild is known where Stimson's, Children's or Spotted Pythons coexist).

>Smith's revision of childreni complex snakes has also came under criticism due to overlaps of scale features of each 'species', further adding fuel to the argument that all three snakes are merely different forms of the same species (subspecies).

Why would anyone want a defective snake, with only one eye?

All 3 species are approximately the same size, which varies by study, and their coloration varies by region. The coloration of the OP's Stimson is the same as most captive spotteds in the U.S. All 3 species have overlapping distribution. Yes, they're different species, but when it comes to captivity there's no practical difference apart from pattern and price.
