yes they're the same species but there IS enough variation in different the diffent localities to further classify the species into subspecies. it is also proven that this vaiation is not just a random varietion in each differnt snake. you see that there are a vaietion in the color and size of the snake and this is what deems it appropriete to further classify the species

if you go by your argument who's to say that the carpet python and green tree pythons are a different species but rather just the same snake with a different color and size. or a spotted and a stimsons. if your going to classify a animal you may as well do it properly

p.s. i shall have to watch this Dr Alice Roberts' The Human Journey and see if it causes me to change my mind....

Im mostly playing the devil's advocate - because without a strong 'one sided' argument there is no argument...

A chemical which is toxic is a poison.

Some snakes inject their prey with a mixture of poisons called venom to kill or disable them.

Step back you may... but I think (judging by other threads) you're better off arguing about fishing...

i see it as, Poisons and venom's are both toxins. toxins are made of chemicals. the chemical composition determines the type of toxin and thus determines the delivery system needed be it injection (venom's) or ingestion\absorption (poisons)

**slim6y** · 23-Apr-12, 02:07 PM

But Tristan - some venoms are not poisonous depending on delivery method (providing you didn't have a cut in your mouth (or any internal cuts) you could swallow taipan venom without harm).... But, I think all poisons are poisonous regardless of delivery method...

I'm pretty sure ingestion, absorption, injection of most poisons will result in the same outcome...
