    I believe someone posted something the other day about name changes, but I haven't paid much attention to it. People are going to use the names they've always used and I'm no longer in academia so I'm not concerned about it

    I just looked and according to the Evolution and Ecology book...there are 30 species...so I'm not sure which on the list you have above would no longer be considered a species. Another member may be able to comment on that.

    The post you are referring to was a rant from an upset new member.

    They are not just snakes. They're garter snakes.
