You know, I can understand elaphe being changed for our North American ratsnakes since the old world snakes were named first. Like others though I am somewhat reluctant. Where I'm really feeling a sting is with the clade system that is deviding obsoleta, giving rise to spiloides and allegeniensis (please forgive spelling on that last one). I have been breeding black rats over the years mixxing all 3 clades. I now have a few hybrids by some peoples standards. I've never been in to locality except for enlarging a genepool. I tell you what. It's made for some plump hearty hatchlings. I still love these animals. I just hope I'm not the only one that does, down the road. Anyway times change. I'll try as well, but long live the black rat. Alan,
