Scientific and common names

[angel_saza]

Is there a list on here with all the different python species scientific names and their common names?

This is the species lists for NSW, has most of the names you are after. But it's out of date.

MM, I noticed you don't have the White Lipped Python on your list. They are on NSW list as there are 2 animals legally on paper. Although the may only occur in the Torres Straight Islands.

Species names shouldn't start with Capitals!! Just so you know.

i.e. It should be Aspidites ramsayi (Not, Ramsayi)

[Mork]

[angel_saza]

when people refer to a 'mac' or 'maccie', are they referring to a coastal or a spotted?

 

[Mork]

mac or maccie usually refers to maculosas...altho it can be used to refer to port macquarie locals aswell.

And coastal can refer to almost any snake that has a coastal variant (maculosas, carpets..u name it pretty much).

 

[hornet]

spotted, antaresia maculosa

port maquarie snakes are called port macs, coastals refer to coastal carpets, never heard any other python refered to as coastals

 

[angel_saza]

Thanks guys! Im not so clouded when it comes to names now

 

[Mork]

i agree with you hornet. However as a descriptor "coastal" can be and is used with several species. And i have heard many people call their port macs "macs". My former post was just to point out that they can mean different things depending on the conversation.

What you say is right. By far the most common usage of the term "mac" is in relation to A. maculosa, and the most common usage of the term "coastal is in relation to coastal carpets.

 

[hornet]

yea, i prefer to stick to scientific names, not as much confusion there

 

[Mork]

ditto...especially when u start calling things spotted, blotched etc etc. Can easily be confusing for the newcomers to the hobby.
