Re: question.....

Yeh, it is really tough to keep up on current nomenclature. I was just at a reptile zoo here in PA and was amused when I saw that they still have their ratsnakes as Elaphe and not Pantherophis. I was going to ask someone about it, but my wife told me not to bother them....LOL.

Stefan: I wonder with all the "old" subspecies not being used for T.elagans what the red terrestris are now? Are they just erythristic T.e.vagrans or T.e.elagans? It's funny how they don't have a problem getting rid of the names, but don't let us know what we're supposed to call the old ones now.
