1.1.0 Thamnophis sirtalis parietalis meaning 1 male and one female
1.0.0 T. s. sirtalis meaning one female
2.1.5 Elaphe guttata guttata meaning 2 male,1 female and 5 babies
1.0.1 Elaphe guttata meaning 1 albino baby
1.1.0 python regius meaning 1 female no males

is this correct? if not let me know and i can change them

[EdgyExoticReptiles]

it would be
0.0.1 Elaphe guttata (1 baby)
0.1.0 python regius (one female)
0.1.0 T.s. Sirtalis (one female)
and u can shorten thamnophis sirtalis parietalis to T.s. Parietalis

and james will know the scientific names

1.0.0 -1 male
0.1.0 -1 female
0.0.1 -1 unsexed/baby

ok i just redone my sig,,thanks for the help,,hope this looks correct,,lol

[EdgyExoticReptiles]

looks pretty correct (i may be wrong) but i dont think different morphs such as albinos have different species names because they are the same snake just lacking pigment so i think u can put them all under Elaphe guttata guttata , and i think the "Python" in Python regius is capitalized

ok i just redone my sig,,thanks for the help,,hope this looks correct,,lol

[brandon0133]

ok thanks for the help

See, Brandon, that didn't take you long at all!! Looks pretty cool -- I'm going to try it when I get just a couple more snakes........think it looks kind of pathetic with just one!:p

[brandon0133]

lol one is better then none right?

[Thamnophis]

And when you change Elaphe guttata in Pantherophis guttatus you are really up to date...

[brandon0133]

why change that?

[EdgyExoticReptiles]

im asuming they changed the species name to that

why change that?

[brandon0133]

well i checked online and thats the name they gave me for it

[Stefan-A]

They changed it just a couple of years ago. The new facts say that they aren't closely related to the Old World genus Elaphe, and so their names needed to be changed. A lot of species, both on this side of the puddle and over there, had to be regrouped and renamed. What can I say, new methods usually have that effect.

Pantherophis guttatus is the new official name, if you have a plains rat snake you might want to rename it to Pantherophis emoryi as well.

[Thamnophis]

Because the genus Elaphe has been changed.
Their official name now is Pantherophis guttatus.
