>>I own a blue buety ratsnake in my large collection and have always refereed to it as ELLAPHE TAENURA (spelling may be off)
>>i heared people call these buy a new genus and I want to call it the correct name
>>
>>-thanks

Elaphe taeniura ssp. is also now known as Orthriophis taeniurus ssp. There is still no subspecific classification for the subspecies, so its subspecific name is ssp. Here is a link to a post about a paper which discusses the generic change from Elaphe to Orthriophis. http://forums.kingsnake.com/view.php?id=1760626,1763848
