IF you really want to get your python make a deal with your parents that if you get xx% in your grades (be realistic) then can you have one at the end of the year....and then study like mad...forget about herps for 4 weeks or so and concentrate on the subjects you are struggling in.

Worked for me when I was a kid when I wanted a motorbike (plus I had to save up 20% before my dad would go guarantor on a loan).

Correct answers...

I will assume you are talking numbers of species.....

Pseudonaja affinis
P. affinis exilis
P. affinis tanneri
Pseudonaja aspidoryncha
Pseudonaja elliotti (not accepted by some authorities, having seen one I have little doubt)
Pseudonaja guttata
Pseudonja inframaculata
Pseudonaja ingrami
Pseudonaja mengeni
Pseudonaja modesta
Pseudonaja nuchalis
Pseudonaja textilis
Pseudonaja textilis pughi (restricted to N Guinea, recent MtDNA has shown difference to Australian mainland populations)

I would be surprised if Pseudonaja remains like this.....there is couple "species" above that are more likely to be a complex rather than a species.

as for question 4.....the answer is Elapidae......

Also recent MtDNA evidence has shown that Pseudechis as a genus is more likely to compile of at least 2 genera as opposed to one.
