Could someone please enlighten me as to the basis for the proposed change to Pantherophis, So far all I can find are vituperative personal attacks with no discussion of the wherefore and why. Is the proposal based on morphology, sequencing behavior or what? While a relatively new addition to the herp world I am a familiar with cladistics and taxonomy in general.
