  • Did the pantherophis/elaphe naming issue ever get resolved?

  • @DaboiaRusselli Yes, though they continue to change. A great resource is the Center for North American Herpetology, cnah dot org-- they have all the current names up there.

  • Sometimes finding the females is much harder then finding males. They are nice looking snakes.

  • Are Emory's ratsnakes like cornsnakes because I'd love to get a ratsnake of some kind?

  • Very much alike in captive care.

  • I keep a Crotalus mitchelli pyrrhus in my collection, he is a banning mountain locale (california), they are an amazing species im trying to find a female with similar looks!

  • Good info that is well appreciated.

  • Actually both the old (Elaphe) and the new (Pantherophis) scientific names for the rat snake group are Greek, not Latin. (Pretty weird names, too..."elaphe" means "deer," for example.)

    As far as DNA research goes, I was under the impression that the American and Eurasian rat snakes are going to be placed in separate genera. (In the past they've all been lumped together into Elaphe.)

    I'd like to see the scientific name for the timber rattler changed, personally. (How 'bout "C. pulcher?")

  • awesome stuff! the ky reptile zoo is probably the biggest kept secret among u.s. zoos.

  • Not sure- Pantherophis may end up being used elsewhere. Its confused at the moment. the cnah website might have some new up to date info.

  • Thanks I'm going to go out and try to find one later then because I'd kill for a pet snake!!!
