We give the same snake different names and give these also agreements.
Nowhere do we have a reference about what constitutes what subspecies nor do we take into account that we do not have all possible subspecies in our search fields.
there are quite a number of suggestions that the all green form from Natal and Mpumalanga is a separate ssp to D.t.typus!
Do we account for it?

Man!
