Recently at Herpetology Weekend at Natural Bridge State Park here in kentucky I was among a couple hundred people in attendance who witnessed Joseph T. Coolis talk on the future of the Peterson Field Guide to East/Cental N. American Reptiles, Turtles and Crocodillians. (note the title change as well)
And it seems the geneticists have determined that there are in fact 3 species of Ratsnakes formerly included in the obsoleta complex. Eastern Ratsnakes are now knowen as E.alleganiensis. Includes blacks, yellows, glades, etc...their range extends west to the LA purchase in KY. E. spilotes. Grey rats. and E. obsoleta "the western ratsnake." west of the mississippi river.
anyone....Bueller...Bueller...
In addition to this little tidbit Turtles are now classified in their own class, the Chelonia removed forevermore from class Reptillia, and Crocs are infact BIRDS!
Happy debating,
Ron
