In Reply to: answer to OLD question about meaning of the name Drymarchon posted by Chris H. on November 18, 2001 at 14:38:32:
: I remember reading a question here many, many months ago regarding the etymology of the name Drymarchon. I don't recall if it was ever answered.
: I found a link I had saved to an etymology site that is really interesting which I have linked below.
: Now realize that literally interpreting scientific names into English is fraught with problems, but if you will allow:
: - the eastern indigo could roughly be translated as "Couper's forest commander" and impressive name, but wimpy compared to the title of "raven forest commander of the primeval darkness" that could be bestowed upon the TX indigo. I knew they were cool, but wow what a title!
