[DanTheMan]

yes it is not gtp...

what I am saying is that a number of people throw out id's of species without saying if they are sure or not....think about the consequences if someone had been bitten by this snake.....and the treatment was adjusted to what that species so called is.....we have number of genera let alone species that have been suggested.

By all means I am all for learning, but it should be said that you taking a guess...not trying say emphatically what it is.

Cheers,

Although this may have been a fun guessing game, I agree with you. I get sick of looking at an ID thread to see 20 replies of people just throwing random species around hoping to guess right. Majority of the time they're not even in the right genus and I struggle to see how they came to that conclusion, unfortunately this won't be changing any time soon these people being the majority, which sometimes pushes the more knowledgeable minority away from the forum which is what I've been seeing lately.
