BTW, I found someone who took a few years of Latin, and apparently the correct pronunciation is eh-lay-fay. Just in case someone else wanted to know... :) ~n/p~

: Something I've always been wondering... How on earth are you supposed to pronounce "Elaphe"? eh-laff, ee-laff, eh-lafe, eh-laff-ee? Just got a pair of radiated rat snakes last Friday and I figured I ought to find out how to pronounce the genus name by now... Thanks.
