    Some light entertainment - NE England Snakes for sale now. - Reptile Forums

    read the price list and follow my attempts to correct.
    This, unfortunately, is why I have no wish to buy from a shop.

    Yup ... listed as such and for sale as such prior to even working out exactly what they are ... unfortunately this is the British trend for shops

    Yet you don't see them getting milksnakes wrong ... what would a milksnake enthusiast think to an ad that said - Mexico milksnake (Lampropeltis triangulum)
    Which 'Mexico' milksnake would this be?

    A useless and half-hearted attempt.

    An accurate or inaccurate common name still needs a full taxonomic failsafe to know what your getting.
    This is really winding me up, as you can probably tell.

    Edit - improved milksnake example to match ... grrrrr
