Pantherophis

[edit]

Shouldn't this snake be classified as Pantherophis rather than Elaphe? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.17.174.227 (talk) 00:34, 4 June 2015‎ (UTC)[reply]

According to the article, the ICZN rejected the proposed reclassification. —BarrelProof (talk) 16:58, 30 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Article title name

[edit]

The title of this article is the scientific classification. Usually, but not all the time, there has been no contest in changing to the more common name since policy and consensus has shown (including examples shown in the policy) this acceptable. There has been times when this is contested so I am posting intentions to rename (or seek through RM if contested) the title to the far more common Texas rat snake. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Otr500 (talkcontribs) 13:29, 19 July 2015‎ (UTC)[reply]
