Simply because every species has its own unique individual name. For example - the Burmese & Indian pythons look very similar, but they have different characteristics, and physical appearance. Hence they are identified as two separate species. They are distinguished by their Latin names 'Python molurus bivittatus' for the Burmese python, and 'Python molurus molurus' for the Indian python. Being a reptile-keeper - I would know just by looking at those Latin names on vivariums, which species was which.
Scientific names are unique to one specific instance. For example - A Burmese python and an Indian python look very similar in colour and markings. Therefore the Burmese python has been given the scientific name 'Python bivittatus. The Indian python is named Python molurus.
There is no such species as an american rock python. If there are rock pythons in america - they are either African rock pythons (Python sebae) or Burmese pythons (aka Asian rock python) (Python molurus) - which have been released into the wild by incompetent owners !
The average length of an adult Burmese Python - is around 12 feet (3.7 metres). Average adult weight is around 79 pounds (39 Kilos). They have a light tan background colour, with dark brown 'rosettes' of colour along the whole length of their body. The underside is usually a creamy-white colour.
Simply because it makes it easier to identify species. For example the Indian python and Burmese python both look very similar. To distinguish between the species, they have the Latin names of Python molurus molurus, and Python molurus bivittatus respectively. The Latin names never change,
