ok I'm bored so here goes:

Family Elapidae (Not all are coral snakes Tom - cobras, mambas kraits are there too y'know, amongst others so the list titles needs editing)

King cobra (Ophiophagus hannah)

That's where my scentific name knowledge ends for elapids lol.

I gotta go out now so will stop there./ I have plenty more to offer in my head though (none of the above was googled) and will get back to some more later on.

I'd also like to point out that "Latin name" is technically incorrect. There's plenty of other languages (such as Greek) in there as well as Latin. "Scientific name" is more properly fitting/correct.

regards,

Matt

Tom · 8th February 2009, 12:36 PM

thank you matt..

i have added them, and changed what i got wrong. :)
thanks again.

Fangio · 8th February 2009, 09:51 PM

No offense Tom, but you missed some of my points and now have 2 viper sections also. Elapidae is still saying Coral snakes when they're much more than that. It's kinda like giving "Boidae (Royal Pythons)" as a heading.

Other stuff is messy too. Sorry to tear this to bits, but can I just retype the whole thing as I see it into one post?

That's how I see the list currently. Really though it's gonna need seperating into each snake family, and then genus also, or it's just gonna be one long random list of names. I'll leave that for you to do though:tongue2:

Tom · 8th February 2009, 10:10 PM

im a noob at the whole genus, i was trying to build just enough scientific names to help people out..

i can edit the whole lot as many times as needbe..

so all the help i can get will be much appriciated.

Fangio · 8th February 2009, 10:16 PM

Tom I know you're just trying to help out, and I feel bad for caning your efforts:(

I don't have the time now to start filtering that lot into smaller (genus) sections etc. but will do if that's what you want? (unless someone else wants to do it first then feel free lol).

Teen_Morphs · 9th February 2009, 04:45 PM

Cool post, i wont remember them though lol.

Didn't they subspecies the dwarf retics a while ago. Jampeas are now python reticulatus jampeanus or something like that and i think the kayaudi where aswell (this may be a load of **** though lol)

Python reticulatus jampeanus (Jampea island) and Python reticulatus saputrai (Selayer) isn't 100% official yet as far as I'm aware. CITES only recognises Python reticulatus as covering them all at present. There's also a proposed change for retics to Broghamerus reticulatus (spelling may be out on that one), which I'm hoping won't go through. I fear change! lol.

Thanks
