Comments: Almost ready to go. Personally I would like to see more prose and a clearer image or even more images, but that is not essential. Some minor issues follow...

Intro has some short paragraphs which could be merged or expanded (e.g. with information on how common these snakes are on T and T or whether there are any endemic snakes...)
"sp." and "spp." should be explained somehow (in a footnote or so).
I understand referencing the cells with "yes", but why referencing the species name (sometimes and not always)?
Jargon "monotypic" could be explained shortly in prose.
Possibly "...three Subfamily..." -> "...three subfamilies..."!?
There is no intro for the "Subfamily Dipsadinae" section.
Note 34 is unreferenced
Possibly "...found all over the world, except in..."-> "...found all over the world, except for..."!?
In the "Family Colubridae" section, possibly "...are found on Trinidad and Tobago." -> "...are found in Trinidad and Tobago." (since the country is meant here). Same for the "Family Elapidae" and "Family Viperidae" sections.

I have merged and expanded the paragraphs in the lede, explained "sp." and "spp." in a footnote, removed referencing from species names, explained the word "monotypic" in prose, reworded "three Subfamily" to "three subfamilies," added an introduction to the "Subfamily Dipsadinae" section, reworded "found all over the world, except in" to "found all over the world, except for" in all three cases, and reworded "are found on Trinidad and Tobago" to "are found in Trinidad and Tobago". Now that the references and notes have been altered so greatly, I am unsure which note is mentioned as being unreferenced. Neelix (talk) 20:05, 9 October 2011 (UTC)Reply
