>>Thanks Wolfgang for clearing this taxonomic nightmare up! LOL!
>>I was mistaken when I thought the "green bamboo" vipers were still classified as Trims.
>>Gumprecht, et.al. might not agree with the recent change, AFTER their wonderful book "Asian Pitvipers" (which by the way WW wrote the forward to).

Gumprecht et al.'s book was written before the Malhotra and Thorpe reclassification came out, and therefore stuck with the "old" arrangement. AFAIK, Gumprecht et al. do now follow the new classification, wherteas Vogel's group does not.

>> Me? I still call Green tree Pythons, Chondropython!
>>Some things never change, I guess I'd better get with the program!

Here's a clue: it's a canebrake - Crotalus horridus, period.
