Hi all,
which is the valid Drymarchon classification?
Drymarchon caudomaculatus;
Drymarchon corais with 6 ssp.: Drymarchon corais corais, Drymarchon corais erebennus, Drymarchon corais margaritae, Drymarchon corais orizabensis, Drymarchon corais rubidus, Drymarchon corais unicolor, ;
Drymarchon melanurus;
Drymarchon couperi.

or the classification Dr Wuster suggest on his page http://sbsweb.bangor.ac.uk/~bss166/Taxa/Drymar.htm ?

Drymarchon caudomaculatus
- Drymarchon corais
- Drymarchon couperi
- Drymarchon margaritae
- Drymarchon melanurus, with the following subspecies:
D. m. melanurus
D. m. erebennus
D. m. orizabensis
D. m. rubidus
D. m. unicolor
thank for the help
regards

Now recognizes the taxonomic reclassification of Drymarchon spp. as specified by the Drymarchon spp. systematics study published by Dr. Wuster in 2002..

Dear Nazza, we are not ignoring your post, but some of us don't dare address the controversial taxonomy, where an error often results in a blitz of opinionated censure...lol. Maybe some taxonomist will help...also recognize that changes in taxonomic status are not always quickly recognized or accepted. By the way, how is that incredible hatchling redthroat you retained doing? Ciao, Vic

The female now weights about 65gr, she continues to have a beautiful red, soon I'll post pics.
My adult male is trying to breed without success (I think).
The last female started to eat on her own, some frozen frogs legs did the difference: She eated 2 pinkie I scented with the legs and a small piece of frog that I put in the cage
Ciao
