CapitalMove|Fox snake

Nop, Name of species, is generally capatilized. (Maybe the reptile people do it different, but this is what I see at all bird and mammal pages.)-- Kim van der Linde at venus 04:01, 5 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Crother et al. 2008 lists the species name for the fox snake as Pantherophis vulpinus. Therefore the justification in keeping the species name as Elaphe vulpina is not valid. I therefore suggest that this species, and all other North American Elaphe" be updated to Pantherophis. --MAA —Preceding unsigned comment added by 161.45.237.86 (talk) 15:54, 8 April 2011 (UTC)Reply
