Hello,

I hope this question does not prompt such a "heated" discussion as the one concerning screen lids and total heat (are these forums moderated?). So, without much more delay, can anyone tell me the taxonomic status of V. albigularis? It seems to me that most people (at least private breeders and hobbyists) disagree on the issue, but my question focuses on the official status of the "complex" among the respective authorities of nomenclature. What is the most current study involving this question, and what are the methods used to answer it (morphology, squamation, phylogenetics, coloration)?


I look forward to hearing from you, and I thank you all in advance.

Kind regards,

Fabian
